material from the passage would be irrelevant?

B)
the paragraph about the Colossus of Rhodes

Dy the paragraph about the Statue of Zeus at Olympia

A

Explanation:

We want to find a passage that would not be useful when researching structures that don't exist anymore.

A: The Pyramids of Egypt are still standing today. If someone if researching structures that no longer exist, this wouldn't be helpful, because this structure still exists.

B: The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue that stood for 56 years, but it was ruined by an earthquake in 226 BCE. A paragraph on this structure would be helpful, because it no longer exists.

C: The Pharos of Alexandria was a lighthouse. It was also destroyed by an earthquake, in approximately 1480 . This would be helpful because this is also in ruins and no longer stands.

D: The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was lost in a fire in the 5th century. Since it no longer exists, this would be helpful.

Therefore, the passage that would be irrelevant when researching ancient structures that no longer exist is A: the paragraph about the Pyramids of Egypt.

b. cronkite, a trusted television personality, declared that the war was unwinnable and told the american people that the government had better find a way out
