Answer Explanation:

A. Pioneering international postal fight

The timeline suggests that after pioneering international postal flights in 1926, Saint-Exupéry published his first novel, "Night Flight," in 1931. This indicates a possible influence of his experiences in the field of international postal flights on his literary work.

c. Crashing in the Sahara Desert in Libya

While the event of crashing in the Sahara Desert in Libya in 1935 is a significant and dramatic occurrence in Saint-Exupéry's life, it might not directly influenced the publication of "Night Flight" in 1931. The crash happened after the publication of the novel, and the novel itself might have been influenced more by his experiences as a pioneering aviator, including his international postal flights.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

  • Q #1: Alice was not scared. Not at all. Maybe a lele bit. But she was determined to confront the ghost in her house. Alice lived in a farmhouse but in 1921. All of the floors and doors were original the doors even had skeleton key locks. But by far the most terrifying part of the house was the basement. She kept that door locked and ignored the thum crashes, and cries that came from below the house. What made Alice determined to confront the ghost today was the especially loud crash the previous night. She'd gotten no sleep, convinced the ghost was going to break through the door and do something horrible. What she was sure, but the ghost would do something Alice had seen the ghost, but what he could be making loud noise in an old house? The one time she had been down in the basement was aher buying the house unseen. Once she saw the shelves with old glass jars, she was a de put off. But what made her keep the door shut and locked was the abrupt end of the concrete floor halfway across the room Because nothing good ever happened in a basement with a diet for Alice had seen enough horror movies to know that Ace stared at the basement door, trying to gather enough confidence to open it and march down the stairs like she owned the place. Because she did-or she would, once she finished paying her morgage in 30 years. Alice took a deep breath and yanked the door open. She marched down the stairs, only to stop abruptly at the bottom. Because she was face to face with not a ghost at all it was a calice-cat one who looked utterly unimpressed by her brave journey into the basement   Which of the following is misleading information that Alice uses to support her argument that the house is "terrifying?
