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>.

Bali is a lovely Indonesian island and tropical paradise. It is a lush, green place, with rice fields and forest-covered mountai
sveta [45]

Answer: Hi! A useful summary of this passage would focus on D (the natural and man-made features of Bali).

Explanation: The paragraph shown isn't exploring enjoyable things to do in Bali. Secondly, descriptions of Bali's buildings, in particular, wouldn't be necessary if they could be summarized along with man-made and non-man-made features of Bali. Finally, some facts about traveling to Bali could be nice, but they are also not essential for summarizing the atmosphere of the landscapes Bali has to offer. Thus, D is the best answer.

I hope that this helps you out! Have a good day! :)

What might this political cartoon mean by using the image of Pandora in its commentary?
Phoenix [80]
Pandora is a goddess (if we're talking about the same Pandora) and she's the goddess of misfortune. I would assume that the political cartoon would be showing that whomever was "running" for whatever position was a mistake.
