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.

    A. Pioneering international postal fight

    B. Arriving in New York City after escaping France

    C. Crashing in the Sahara Desert in Libya

    D. Beginning his military service

    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.
