Answer:

"site" should be "sight"

"shear" should be "sheer"

Explanation:

The two mistakes are "site" and "shear".

"Site" is the location of something; in this case, that's not what the context is trying to say. Instead, the sentence is saying that "we" saw the pyramid, so it should be "we caught <em>sight </em>of the Great Pyramid of Giza".

"Shear" is cutting off the hair of something. Obviously, no one's hair is getting cut, so it doesn't make sense here. Instead, the correct word should be "sheer", which means something like "utter" or to express the power of an item.

Naturally, our peace loving country not wishing to take the initiative of breaking the pact could not resort to perfidy
fgiga [73]

Answer:

A moral dilemma is shown here

Explanation:

Starting with the last word, <em>perfidy </em>is a deliberate breach of faith or trust; in the context of war - we can assume that this the case because of the word <em>peace</em><em> loving country</em> - perfidy can actually lead to warcrimes, like waving a white flag and then kill the enemy.

So the moral dilemma is that a country is very likely to be uncomfortable with a pact, the other side probably being a bit of a war loving country, but diplomatic relations deny the possibility of breaking the pact.

The part <em>not wishing to take the initiative of breaking the pact </em>is, if I´m not mistaken, a subordinate adjective clause that refers to the noun <em>country</em>.

So this country, not wishing etc., could not resort to perfidy either. Because that would be even worse, considering the fact that it is a peace loving country.
