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.

The correct answer is D. There is no single topic sentence.

Explanation:

A topic sentence is a sentence that summarizes the main idea of a paragraph, this sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph and states what the paragraph is about. On the other hand, the paragraph presented here deals with multiple topics or concepts including the Earth's crust, the plates, the Earth's mantle, volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges, this means the paragraph is related to geography but explores multiple ideas that are not summarized in any of the sentences presented in the paragraph, neither at the beginning nor at the end of it. Thus, as there is no any sentence or phrase that states what the paragraph is about as a unit or summarizes all the ideas of the paragraph there is no a single topic sentence because this paragraph includes multiples ideas that might be difficult to summarize in only one topic sentence.

Mariulka [41]
The line given above that reveals a dramatic irony is that "The responsible party is a god." It could not be a woman because it is describing death nor it is not dead yet. It clearly says that death itself is a god and no one has ever felt that they could love death even if most of them wanted to die.
