Answer:

Failure

Explanation:

By only looking at the context clues of <em>debacle</em>, we can infer that word has a negative connotation: something bad happened in Russia that made the officer of the Czar felt that he had not choice but to leave the nation. So, <em>success</em> and <em>celebration</em> are not suitable.

Now, if we look the word in the dictionary, we can find that <em>debacle</em> refers to an event or enterprise that fails, has a breakdown or that ends suddenly and disastrously, often with humiliating consequences. So, <em>debacle</em> can be replaced by <em>failure</em>.

Think about the things you do on a regular basis. What values are reflected in your daily activities?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

I value saving the planet, health, nature, being able to care of myself and my loved ones, having security, independence, kindness, and serenity.

I reflect these values by living a frugal lifestyle, saving my money so that I can have enough to take care of myself and my family no matter what life throws our way.

I also do my best to leave a low (carbon) footprint on the world with my lifestyle. Frugal living goes hand-in-hand with this. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Eating a vegan diet reflects these values as well, as I feel it is the optimum diet for good health and is also easier on the planet and of course is kinder to the animals we share our world with. I am very much against big agra farming and especially CAFO farming for animal meat.

To this end I grow as many of our own vegetables as I can and I shop local as much as possible. This is better for our own health and the health of planet Earth.

I try to live a very simple life filled with family, and abundance of good, fresh food, and enough savings to feel comfortable and secure. And that is how I try to to align my values with my daily life.

hope it's helpful

thank you
