What can you infer about the comment that the only jobs left in sydney mines were funeral directors

I don't know much about the Sydney mines, but from the context, I can infer that the tunnels were unsafe. Whether being that they were collapsing, or they were filled with poisonous gasses.

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.
