Answer:

C. "he was told to take on another ominous job. It was to be done  twice a day, usually after dusk, and always in secret." (  Paragraph 13)

Explanation:

The article "Lee Sherman and the Toxic Louisiana Bayou" tells the story of Lee Sherman and his work with PPG which turned him to be an ardent environmentalist. His work in that factory led him to advocate for safer working conditions and also for the environment as a whole.

The article narrates how Sherman was employed by Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) where he was to work with chemicals harmful not only for humans but also for the environment. But despite all the harmful things, the company knew its dangerous works but had concealed them to the general public. The detail about how he had to dump tar <em>"done twice a day, usually after dusk, and always in secret"</em> shows that PPG knew their chemical dumping could have a negative effect but had decided to do it in secret.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

How does the bear’s advice contribute to the theme of the story, the bear and the two travelers?
cupoosta [38]

ANSWER: The bear's advice was a lesson for every reader to learn. You shouldn't trust anyone at the risk of your life. Even when you think you both are committed with one goal, you should always watch your back, as friends can be disappointing during though times.

This is a story of two travellers, who agreed to stand by each other during though times while traveling. On they journey, a bear came out of the Forest, one traveler climbed the tree and hide himself in the leave. While the other traveller laid on the floor, to act like he's dead. The bear went round him; as bear's does not eat dead meat, their left.

From the story, this shows that the other traveller that climbed the tree for his own safety, doesn't care if the other traveller is safe.
