the author's description of the residents of his hometown
Explanation:
Answer:
Officially declared to be unfit for use
Explanation:
<em>Condemned</em> is an adjective derived from the verb <em>to condemn</em>. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it has several meanings:
- declared to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil
- pronounced guilty and sentenced to punishment (usually to death)
- officially declared to be unfit for use
Since the sentence is about gas cylinders, a type of product, we can conclude that the third meaning is the correct one. Cylinders can't be declared wrong or evil or sentenced to punishment. They can be only declared unusable, which fits the context - gas cylinders that cannot be identified must be removed from service, declared unfit for use, and rendered incapable of holding pressure.
The Alchemist concludes with Santiago at the end of his journey across the sea and sands, back to where he started, dreaming under a sycamore tree. That is until the last line of the novel, "I'm coming, Fatima..." (Epilogue.13); This line shows that Santiago's journey is not yet done and that he will continue to travel even after the end of the novel.
