Some sixty miles south of Biskra, the most fashionable resort in the Algerian Sahara, there is a deep depression two hundred and fifty miles long, partly occupied by three salt lakes of the kind so common over the whole dried-up Saharan area. 2. These three lakes, shrunken remnants of much larger sheets, lie below the level of the Mediterranean, but they are separated from it, and from one another, by upland ranges which rise considerably above the sea line. 3. What M. Roudaire proposed to do was to cut canals through these three barriers, and flood the basins of the salt lakes. 4. The result would have been, not as is commonly said to submerge Sahara, nor even to form anything worth seriously describing as ''an inland sea,'' but to substitute three larger salt lakes for the existing three smaller ones. 5. The area so flooded, however, would bear to the whole area of Sahara something like the same proportion that Windsor Park bears to the entire surface of England. 6. This is the true truth about that stupendous undertaking, which is to create a new Mediterranean in the midst of the… Continent, and to modify the climate of Northern Europe to something like the condition of the Glacial Epoch. 7. A new Dead Sea would be much nearer the mark, and the only way Northern Europe would feel the change, if it felt it at all, would be in a slight fall in the price of dates in the wholesale market. Use the passage below to answer the question that follows. Which sentence most accurately states the implied claim in the passage? Three lakes, separated by mountains, may provide answers to the development of the Algerian Sahara. Flooding the Sahara would usher in a Glacial Epoch. The Sahara Desert is in dire need of a man-made water source. Canals would not effectively create a sister Mediterranean Sea in the Sahara Desert Nelly Bly used her voice to shed light on issues that effected those who may not have felt they had a voice. At the age of 18, Bly responded to an editorial in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. She emphasized that a womans role is not necessarily in the home, and her rebuttal to the editorial that emphasized otherwise earned her a position at the newspaper. Within two years, Bly was working for the New York World, and early on, she was assigned to report about the conditions of patients at Blackwell's island, an asylum. To ensure the accuracy and authenticity of her work, Bly had herself committed and spent ten years observing abuse, neglect, and mistreatment of patience in the facility. Her work led to a widespread investigation. Bly's report led to increased funding and regulation of such facilities. Bly continued investigative work, shedding light on atrocities and corruption throughout various institutions, and paving the way for female journalists and a better humankind.
