It was autumn in venice when victor first heard of prosper and bo. the canals, gleaming in the sun, dappled the ancient brickwork with gold. but the wind was blowing ice-cold air from the sea, reminding the venetians that winter was approaching. even the air in the alleyways tasted of snow, and only the wings of the carved angels and dragons high up on the rooftops felt any real warmth from the pale sun.
for the time being, the city still stood firmly on its wooden legs. victor leaned against his window and looked out through the dusty glass. surely no other place on earth was more proud of its beauty than venice, and as he watched its spires and domes, each caught the sun as if trying to outshine one another. whistling a tune, victor turned away from the window and walked over to his large mirror. just the weather for trying out my new disguise, he thought, as the sun warmed the back of his sturdy neck. he had bought this new treasure only the previous day—an enormous mustache, so dark and bushy that it would have made any self-respecting walrus extremely jealous. he stuck it carefully under his nose and stood on his toes to make himself taller. he turned to the left and to the right and became so engrossed in his reflection that he only heard the footsteps on the stairs when they stopped outside his door.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
