The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

It is better for the environment if people switch off their televisions, instead of leaving them in standby mode.

Indeed, it is better to do that for a simple reason. Television needs electricity to work. When English people left their televisions in standby mode, the TV is still using electricity. It is consuming energy. This, of course,  generates electricity. This electricity is produced by fossil fuels and when this happens it is polluting the environment. Why? Because it produces carbon dioxide or CO2. This also impacts the critical phenomenon of climate change and global warming.

If the UK produces most of its electricity from fossil fuels, this means that these nation is contributing to climate change and polluting the environment, the air, the water. That is why people in the UK should leave their televisions in standby mode when not in use, instead of switching them off.

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The passage clearly describes Mrs. Tilley's struggle to catch the cow, whom she calls "horned torment", and states that she's been doing it for too long to blame anyone for simply lingering in that place. At the same time, she is happy that Sylvia... or anyone for that matter, is helping her perform this task.

<span>Well, they were angry over the Civil War, and some people in the north thought that the entire south should be punished, because of the war. There were also the carpetbaggers who came to the south to try and profit from the destruction and mayhem, and generally being a nuisance to those trying to rebuild destroyed communities. An important role was played also by missionaries who were coming to the south to try and help them rebuild, of which both made the southerners angry because they just wanted to be left alone after their defeat to lick their wounds, try and rebuild, and get life back to normal.</span>
