Answer:

The best paraphrase of the passage is:

C. It's always dark where the Men of Winter live.

Explanation:

This question can be quite tricky, and here is why: the words "mist" and "cloud" are explicitly written in the passage. Of course, our first impulse is to imagine a cloudy or misty place and to choose either option A or option B, or even both. However, we need to keep on reading to fully understand the passage. Notice the speaker says, "Never the flaming eye of Helios lights on those men..." Helios is nothing more than the personification of the sun in Greek mythology. When he says its flaming eye never lights, he basically means his light never shines on those Men of Winter. No light means it is dark. It may be dark due to the excessive mist and clouds, but it is dark nonetheless because the light can't shine through. That is why letter C seems to be the best option.

In what way is the Holy Land an important site for all three monotheistic faiths?

ololo11 [35]

The holy land is an important site for all three monotheistic faiths because it is mostly where the houses and buildings of worship for their religions are. For example, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is where Jesus was crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. The Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, a cenotaph, or empty tomb, stands over the place where Abraham is believed to have been buried, or The Green Dome of Al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque rises above Medina where Muhammad and his followers once took refuge.
