... after their tramp through the wetlands in 1819, the snowy mountains were a welcome sight for the armys highland moustizes. many plainsmen, though, had never set eyes on the cordillera mountain range; on seeing the next stage of the journey, some 300 deserted. the troops who remained had walked 400 miles in the energy - sapping heat and humidity of the plains, but nothing could have prepared many of them for the altitude and freezing temperatures of the high andes....

... in deciding their course of action during the famine, british government officials and administrators rigidly adhered to the popular theory of the day, known as laissez - faire (meaning let it be), which advocated a hands - off policy in the belief that all problems would eventually be solved on their own through natural means.
great efforts were thus made to sidestep social problems and to avoid any interference with private enterprise or the rights of property owners. throughout the entire famine period, the british government would never provide massive food aid to ireland under the assumption that english landowners and private businesses would have been unfairly harmed by resulting food price fluctuations.
in adhering to laissez - faire, the british government also did not interfere with the english - controlled export business in irish - grown grains. throughout the famine years, large quantities of native - grown wheat, barley, oats and oatmeal sailed out of places such as limerick and waterford for england, even though local irish were dying of starvation. irish farmers, desperate for cash, routinely sold the grain to the british in order to pay the rent on their farms and thus avoid eviction....

Explanation:

Response
Question 6
Brief Explanations

The passage talks about the army's journey through wetlands, snowy mountains, and the high Andes, focusing on how geographic features (mountains, plains, altitude, freezing temps) affected the troops. Option (1) is about ethnic makeup, not in the passage. Option (2) is about economic variables, not mentioned. Option (3) is about weapons, not discussed. Option (4) matches as it's about geographic factors (mountains, altitude, climate) impacting the fight for Colombia’s independence (part of Bolivar’s campaign).

Brief Explanations

The passage describes the Irish Potato Famine, British laissez - faire policy, export of Irish grains while Irish starved, and Irish farmers selling grain to pay rent. Option (1): Britain didn't support food aid (they had a hands - off policy). Option (2): No regulation of food prices, and standard of living didn't improve. Option (3): Irish starving would emigrate overseas to escape, which is a logical result. Option (4): British didn't emigrate to Ireland for that purpose.

Brief Explanations

The economic theory is laissez - faire (hands - off, let market solve problems). Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations promotes free - market capitalism and limited government intervention, matching laissez - faire. Montesquieu’s work is about separation of powers, Wollstonecraft’s about women’s rights, Locke’s about government and natural rights. So option (1) is correct.

Answer:

(4) understanding the impact of geographic factors on the fight for Colombia’s independence
