Imagine you are listening to a speech about airplane accidents. the speaker is stressing the need for better flight school programs. which of the following statistics would be most effective as evidence?
40 percent of all accidents in the last 15 years were caused by pilot error.
14 percent of all accidents in the last 15 years were caused by mechanical error.
during the last 15 years, 51 percent of all accidents occurred during the final approach or landing.
flight school simulators do not adequately prepare pilots for the variety of difficult situations that may occur while in flight

I believe the first option could  be effective.

Explanation:

If the speaker is stressing the need for better flight school programs while making a speech about airplane accidents, we may assume that pilots are most likely making mistakes. So:

40 percent of all accidents in the last 15 years were caused by pilot error.

We can actually see a connection between the evidences: if pilots are not prepared adequately, then they are more likely to make mistakes that cause 40% of all accidents.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
