Eric is conducting research about the exploration of Antarctica, and he has gathered these resources:

Which sentence contains a restrictive clause?

Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine's work "The Crisis" No. 1. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. ... ... Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.
The words “slavery," "devils,” and “murderer" evoke a sense of
anger and injustice.
fear and anxiety.
confusion and chaos.
guilt and shame.​

Read the excerpt from "Animal Rights Debate.”

Animals deserve legal rights in a just society. The US Congress first addressed this issue in 1966 with the passage of the Animal Welfare Act, which sets standards for the care of animals in agriculture, research, and domestic life. The Animal Legal Defense Fund reports that animal cruelty is now illegal in all 50 states. Michigan State University’s College of Law even has an Animal Legal and Historical Center. Interestingly, European laws protect animals to a greater extent than US law. Animals are considered as more than property, and this approach furthers the idea that animals should have legal status and rights as sentient, or thinking, beings.

Excerpt from The War of the World
By H. G. Wells

A singularly appropriate phrase it proved. Yet the next day there was nothing of this in the papers except a little note in the Daily Telegraph, and the world went in ignorance of one of the gravest dangers that ever threatened the human race. I might not have heard of the eruption at all had I not met Ogilvy, the well-known astronomer, at Ottershaw. He was immensely excited at the news, and in the excess of his feelings invited me up to take a turn with him that night in a scrutiny of the red planet. In spite of all that has happened since, I still remember that vigil very distinctly: the black and silent observatory, the shadowed lantern throwing a feeble glow upon the floor in the corner, the steady ticking of the clockwork of the telescope, the little slit in the roof—an oblong profundity with the stardust streaked across it. Ogilvy moved about, invisible but audible. Looking through the telescope, one saw a circle of deep blue and the little round planet swimming in the field. It seemed such a little thing, so bright and small and still, faintly marked with transverse stripes, and slightly flattened from the perfect round. But so little it was, so silvery warm—a pin’s head of light! It was as if it quivered, but really this was the telescope vibrating with the activity of the clockwork that kept the planet in view. As I watched, the planet seemed to grow larger and smaller and to advance and recede, but that was simply that my eye was tired. Forty millions of miles it was from us—more than forty millions of miles of void. Few people realize the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims

How does the story’s setting influence the plot?
A) The image of the planet creates a feeling of uncertainty.
B) The description of the room foreshadows coming danger.
C) The shadows in the room predict unforeseen events.
D) The simplicity of the equipment shows man’s lack of knowledge.
