B: Until we are able to confirm whether or not the radio waves came from outside of this solar system
1- <span>The ancient Chinese board game “Go” is invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.
<u>Because it's an action that started and finished in the past, this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past)</u>
2- </span><span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three-dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge, and poker. Go, though, is different.
<u>This continues the same line of mistake as the first paragraph. Because it's referencing something that already happened ("Go was considered...), this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past).</u>
The game required intuition, strategising <u>and</u> character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience: qualities unique to human intelligence.
<u>The conjunction and is used before the last element in a list. In this case, this word should be substituted by a comma because <em>character reading</em> is not the last element on that list.</u>
3- </span><span>This week, though, a computer called Alpha Go <u>defeats</u> the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “ learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It <u>evolves</u> as a player and taught itself.
That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to the “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.</span><span>
<u>These should read defeated ... evolved. This continues the same line of thought on subject-verb agreement. If it's talking about a past event, and the rest of the paragraph sustains that idea, then these verbs should be in Simple Past.</u></span><span>

I believe A would be the best way to keep the original meaning while making it simple to understand.
Answer:
I liked reading the narrative more, because I think it gives a clearer picture of what Anne was really thinking while she was in hiding. It was fun to see what hiding was like from Anne's perspective rather than from a director and actors on a stage.
Explanation:
easy
The necklace is ironic in the fact that when the necklace is borrowed it is believed to be a real diamond necklace. When she loses the "diamond necklace" she works very long to repay the person she borrowed from because she thinks the necklace she lost was worth much money. When she gives the money to the person she borrowed from and confesses that she lost it she was told that the necklace was a fake and that she worried and worked for many years over nothing. This is an example of situational irony. She thought the necklace was worth very much money when it was really only worth very little
