The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.

The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.

The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

B.) he knows the fish will be upset by his latest request

Explanation:

The question is related to the story about "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish," which was written by <em>Alexander Pushkin.</em> This is a<em> fairy tale</em> which centers on<u> the life of a poor old man and a woman.</u> Upon fishing, the old man found a "golden fish." The fish asked him to spare his life and in return he was given a wish. The old man didn't want anything, however, when he told his wife about it, his wife wanted him to ask the fish for a<em> "new trough."</em> This was followed by many other wishes.

In the end, she wanted to become the "Ruler of the Sea." This made the fisherman hesitant because <u>he knows that the golden fish would be upset by his latest request. </u>His wife wanted <em>more wishes</em> from the fish, thus<em> she wanted to control it. </em>The fish then stopped the greed of the wife by putting her back to her usual situation.

So, this explains the answer.
