D) Correct. Long coated, hatted
men, known as Land Mine Diggers, would sneak
out to other villages to steal land mines.
These desperate men were both revered and
feared for their courage. As guns and artillery
were very scarce, landmines became a primary
source of protection for a village. Mine fields
were mapped out in the villagers' heads, and
if invaded they would take to the fields and
hide in the safe areas.
e) Wrong, let your fingers do
