(from sport and travel from the northland of canada by david t. hanbury, 1904, chapter vi "life in an eskimo camp on baker lake")

this passage saves a considerable distance, about twenty miles i should judge. the charts do not mark the point as a peninsula.

a phenomenon of these parts is the mirage, which is much more marked on some days than on others. it is observed on the larger lakes and along the coast particularly. land which is only a short distance away appears suspended in mid-air, and great distortion takes place. captain santos informed me that owing to this peculiarity it is impossible to get good sights at sea.

the voyage up chesterfield inlet was slow and far from pleasant; the cold was severe, for although the thermometer never dropped even to zero, it was our first touch of winder cold, and was keenly felt. we had to sit still for twelve hours at a stretch, everything on board coated with ice and a cutting wind in our teeth. the whale-boat leaked so badly that every night it had to be unloaded and in the morning loaded afresh. this necessitated wading. we all had long sealskin boots luckily, but these would freeze stiff directly we left the water.

which of the following most belongs in a set of notes about the passage?

mirages are known as optical illusions.

the ship's voyage was freezing.

seals were often killed for their sealskin.

wading in cold water can be harmful.

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
