Answer:

Explanation:

For the most part of the war, armies preserved old military tactics (fieldwork) of espionage rather than fully adapting to new techniques.

Here's why the other answers are incorrect:

A) "Photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances" in comparison to the previous wars, so A is incorrect. Intelligence was, for the most part, gathered in the same ways it had been previously, but these new technologies were still utilized.

B) Photograph and the telegraph are mentioned, but they are not the main point of the paragraph. Basically, "although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances," this fact is only being mentioned in the paragraph to emphasize the minimal progress of "the means of obtaining military intelligence," as intelligence was often still "gathered in simple ways" only. Armies "still relied on fieldwork." So B is incorrect.

D) Option D only refers to one source of information in the paragraph, "runaway slaves;" it does not fully or efficiently summarize the paragraph.

Which excerpt from Chapter 28 of MobyDick best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his

Katarina [22]

The excerpt from Chapter 28 of Moby Di-ck which best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his own destruction is:

B. And not only that, but moody stricken Ahab stood before them with a crucifixion in his face; in all the nameless regal overbearing dignity of some mighty woe.

One of the important theme in the novel “Moby Di-ck” is about the relationship between nature and man. The novel is about a man, Ahab, who goes out in the natural world to disturb the balance of nature by killing the animals. Though at the end of the novel, it is the nature who remains unchanged and the man has to witness a failure. Ahab had a strong belief in the fate because of which he thinks that it is in his destiny to slay down the whale. The desire for revenge exists stands secondary for him. He combines his egoism with the feeling of revenge and moves on to destroy the whale. He ignores the prophecies about the destruction that will cause to his ship and himself if he moved on. In the end, he falls prey to his own destruction causing his identity to extinct.

Snezhnost [94]

The answer is: Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality.

In the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice," the author Julia Alvarez claims her mother did not know about the horrific atrocities of dictatorship Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. One of the reasons is her parents were too afraid to mention anything contrary to the system to protect her children. As a result, when she was a child, Alvarez's mother must have thought Trujillo was a film star and might have wished to meet him.
