Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition is considered to be the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. The expedition was envisaged by Sir Ernest Shackleton and was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent.

Even though the expedition failed to achieve its primary goal, it became a milestone in expedition history because, despite all the hardships they had to endure for months, all of the crew members survived returned to their homelands.

1. The American flag: symbolism

Symbolism refers to objects, traits, colors, animals, etc (anything with a physical existence) that stand for one meaning or several that are different from the actual meaning of the form of that physical "thing" or living being. For many, the American flag acts as a symbol of liberty and patriotism.

2. It was spring in the year 1930 and few of us had much hope left: setting

Setting refers to the time and place in which the story takes place. This sentence is an example of setting because it sets the time period: spring in the year 1930.

The plot is the main events of a play, novel or film, that are related to each other in a sequence, such as in the given segment.  

4. Boy meets girl; but does not get along with girl's parents: conflict

In literature, conflict is a clash, disagreement or struggle between two opposing groups or individuals, that often keeps the reader interested in the story.

What does this paragraph phase mean “the awakening had been violent and I minded it all the more because I knew that what could
Vsevolod [243]
The first time most people fall for E.B. White – certainly the first time I did – they are 6 or 7 or 8. In 1952, “Charlotte’s Web” made him the New Yorker writer with the largest grade-school fan base.

I fell in love with “Charlotte’s Web” because, when White talked about grown-up mysteries like love and death, he was as honest as a punch to the jaw. Many years later, I fell in love with “Death of a Pig” because, covering the same subjects for adults, White was as straightforward as a pie to the face.

Here are the facts of the case: A gentleman farmer (and New Yorker staff writer) ventures out to his pig enclosure one September afternoon and discovers that the hog he has nurtured through spring and summer has lost its appetite, gone listless. An obstruction of the bowel is suspected. The farmer, his dachshund and a veterinarian preside over the pig’s decline, until it dies alone a few days later, sometime between supper and midnight. The pig receives a graveside autopsy and is buried under a wild apple tree. The farmer accepts his neighbor’s condolences (“the premature expiration of a pig is, I soon discovered, a departure which the community marks solemnly on its calendar, a sorrow in which it feels fully involved”) before taking up his pen and telling the story “in penitence and in grief, as a man who failed to raise his pig.”
