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.
Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth is a social novel, also know as "problem novel" that deals with the old Victorian views about legitimacy and sinful behaviors. Gaskell portrays an outcast, "a fallen woman" in a very compassionate way.
It is demonstrated how the society would act towards a mother who conceived a child out of a marriage and how the main character, Ruth, is viewed as an evil and sinful person, despite the fact that she is actually good from what we can see. A proof of that would be the fact that she was willing to act as a nurse for typhus victims. She even treated Bellingham who was responsible for her ruin.
It is also interesting to note that she was not treated as a bad person or unwanted person by the townspeople who actually appreciated her nursing care. She also did not speak down to them. She recognized their needs and they were thankful for that.
