Answer:
C) To explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish
Explanation:
The given question refers to an excerpt from <em>The Travels of Marco Polo</em><em>:</em>
And let me tell you something else. They have sheep here that have no ears, nor even ear-holes; but in the place where ears ought to be they have little horns. They are small creatures and very pretty. And here is something else that may strike you as marvelous: their domestic animals—sheep, oxen, camels, and little ponies—are fed on fish. They are reduced to this diet because in all this country and in all the surrounding regions there is no grass; but it is the driest place in the world.
The options you were given are the following:
A) to explain why sheep have horns but no ears
B) to explain why sheep in the region are so small
C) to explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish
D) why there are such large quantities of fish available
The correct answer is C. Sheep feed on grass. The climate of the described region is so dry that there is no more grass, so sheep no longer have anything to eat. Instead of letting them die, the people began feeding them fish. The rest of the options are not consequences of the dry climate.
1- Disagree because the wife may tell the husband to do something to please her and then the husband might not want to do what she said. He should always have a choice on what he wants to do.
2- Disagree Just tell your friend that you lost what is theirs and then offer to buy them a replacement. It is better to not lie.
3- Agree By telling your friend the truth it makes you a better person by not lying and it build trust in the friendship
4- Agree You could be rich and have the material items you could ever want but you may be very sad because you have no friends who care for you
The author is using a type of figurative language called personification. Personification is when you give human characteristics or traits to something that is non human. When the author writes, "<span>the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." the author is giving the sea human characteristics. The sea does not actually have lips.</span>
