Answer:

"debris-choked".

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker/ author presents the difference between the Glen Canyon and Lake Powell. This contrasting image/ description is made in such a way that the difference is felt and projects a drastic image.

The comparison of these reservoirs is so drastic that the author uses life and death to compare it. While <em>"Glen Canyon was alive. Lake Powell is a graveyard." </em>And the one phrase that best contributes to the author's sad tone is<em> "debris-choked",</em> which presents an image of a place that is dying, or on the verge of death.

Svetlanka [38]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read Story-Time by Edgar Guest

According to this poem, stories A. give children terrible nightmares if told before bedtime. B. transform fathers into wonderful heroes for their children. C. help people cope with the problems that they experience. D. let people have adventures from the comfort of home

Answer: D. let people have adventures from the comfort of home.

Explanation:

Guest´s poem describes a father telling stories to the kids before bedtime. That nightly ritual seems to happen every day, and allows them to go on adventures with pirates, "Or fairies hiding in the glen," and many other fictional scenes.

In those adventures, they can be as they wish, because "No longer are they youngsters small," and the father is not old.

He describes seemingly dangerous situations, such as great battles, that might seem dangerous but are harmless because they always end well and just in time for bed.
