Answer:

The Dursleys didn't have a direct conversation on this matter in the book. But when hagrid came to pick up Harry, and tells him about his parents then Harry mentions that the Dursleys have told him that his parents died in a car crash.

The reason I think they kept him in the dark is pretty obvious, that they hated the magic world, pretty much because of Petunia, as she was jeoulous that her sister (Harry's mother) was a witch and got admitted to Hogwarts and she didn't and they wanted to keep Harry away from that as they didn't want anymore of that "nonsense" and wanted to live a happy ordinary life.

They tell him his parents died in a car crash.
I think they told him this so that he wouldn’t know that him and his parents are wizards/witches.

Why are hoax succesful
monitta
I will help you! So, What makes a hoax successful? Well, this is the answer: <span>The recipe to a successful hoax requires several important elements, as exemplified by Barnum’s short story, </span><span>The Life of Joice Heth, the Nurse of George Washington. </span><span>Although the line between a believable hoax and an unreasonable tale can be ambiguous, Barnum toes this line and masters the art of deception by crafting his story to fascinate his readers while keeping it relatively realistic. His success can be attributed to the ignorance of his audience, among other convenient coincidences and artful techniques. Around 1835, when this story was published, many people weren’t as informed about medical and health concerns as they are today. Thus, the idea of a living 161-year-old woman might have seemed probable and even miraculous to many. Additionally, Barnum used reputable sources like the </span><span>New York Evening Star </span>and<span> Providence Daily Journal </span><span>to support his arguments, which only boosted his credibility. Mainly, Barnum used details regarding Joice Heth’s life and a real certification that she was George Washington’s slave to convince his audience that she really existed. Furthermore, he offered to let others see her in a circus, which appealed those who did and did not believe in the tale because the believers wanted to see the real deal and the non-believers wanted to see proof that it was all a hoax. In the end, Barnum effectively creates a successful hoax by teetering along the line between a conceivable story and ridiculous myth to craft a convincing argument that appealed to the general public. However, falling too far over this line with a tale too ridiculous could discredit the author and fatally reduce his/her reputation. 

Hope I helped! :) Can you mark me as brainliest please.

Answer:

The best answer to the question above would be the second sentence. The phrase 'Our mission continues' supports the central idea of the speech which is that America's ongoing fight with the terrorists Al-Qaeda will be one that the country will not easily abandon. Other choices are not the main points.
