The correct choice is B: If I were just five inches taller, I could see the bald spot on top of my dad's head without standing on a chair. The reason is because "were" is used future tense, meaning that he WANTED it, but it will not come right now.
Hope this helped!

"Spare the rod and spoil the child."—Ichabod Crane’s scholars certainly were not spoiled.
I would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruel potentates of the school, who joy in the smart of their subjects; on the contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity; taking the burden off the backs of the weak, and laying it on those of the strong. Your mere puny stripling, that winced at the least flourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little, tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked and swelled and grew dogged and sullen beneath the birch. All this he called "doing his duty by their parents;" and he never inflicted a chastisement without following it by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that "he would remember it, and thank him for it the longest day he had to live."
What important fact about Ichabod Crane comes to light in the passage?

The correct answer is D. Ichabod was an unjust teacher who punished his students with prejudice.
Explanation:
In the excerpt presented, the narrator describes the behavior and actions of Ichabod Crane as a teacher mainly from a negative point of view, the narrator shows Ichabod is rather unjust and likes to punish his students based on discrimination and prejudice, this is shown in "he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity" that proves Ichabod punish students based on personal ideas, also, this can be seen in "the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little, tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin" that describes Ichabod enjoys punishing students but only students with certain traits are punished. According to this, the fact about Ichabod this passage reveals is that "Ichabod was an unjust teacher who punished his students with prejudice".

Critical metageography makes the claim that what people tend to understand about the planet (such as continents, directions, and countries) has a lot to do with the culture within which people are raised. As such, critical metageography is purely subjective. What this means is that it is completely based upon opinion and/or the perspective of the individuals doing the mapping, which is why mapping the world is inconsistent.
