PROBLEM: Context: His Dark Materials is an epic trilogy of fantasy novels by Philip Pullman consisting of "Northern Lights" (1995, published as "The Golden Compass" in North America), "The Subtle Knife" (1997), and "The Amber Spyglass" (2000). It follows the coming of age of two children, Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, as they wander through a series of parallel universes. The three novels have won a number of awards, most notably the 2001 Whitbread Book of the Year prize, won by "The Amber Spyglass". "Northern Lights" won the Carnegie Medal for children's fiction in the UK in 1995. The trilogy took third place in the BBC's Big Read poll in 2003., Lyra 's Oxford is a short book by Philip Pullman depicting an episode involving the heroine of His Dark Materials , Pullman 's best - selling trilogy . Lyra 's Oxford is set when Lyra Silvertongue is 15 , two years after the end of the trilogy . It was released to quench the thirst of fans of the trilogy while they wait for the unspecified release of The Book of Dust , and also to expand upon Pullman 's themes from the trilogy . The book consists mainly of an illustrated short story , `` Lyra and the Birds '' . A fold - out map of `` Oxford by Train , River and Zeppelin '' is bound in the book , a fictional map of the Oxford that exists in Lyra 's world . It also includes some advertisements for books and travellers ' catalogues . Two pages from a Baedeker published in Lyra 's world ( including entries for the Eagle Ironworks , the Oxford Canal , the Fell Press and the Oratory of St Barnabas the Chymist , all in the Jericho area of Oxford ) , a postcard from the character Mary Malone , and a brochure for the cruise ship Zenobia are also included . Pullman compares the movement of these objects to particles in a cloud chamber . The idea is that they have floated accidentally through an inter-world window . The postcard contains four images of significant sites in the His Dark Materials trilogy : the physics lab in which Mary Malone works , the house occupied by Lord Boreal , the row of hornbeam trees where Will first discovered a window between the worlds , and the bench where Lyra and Will have pledged to visit each other at least in spirit once a year . The preface by Pullman begins : `` This book contains a story and several other things . The other things might be connected with the story , or they might not ; they might be connected to stories that have n't appeared yet . It 's hard to tell . '', Lyra Belacqua , also known as Lyra Silvertongue, is the heroine of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. Lyra is a young girl who inhabits a universe parallel to our own. Brought up in the cloistered world of Jordan College, Oxford, she finds herself embroiled in a cosmic war between Lord Asriel on the one side, and the first angel to come into being, called The Authority, and his Regent, called Metatron, on the other., Philip Pullman CBE, FRSL (born 19 October 1946) is an English writer. He is the author of several best-selling books, most notably the fantasy trilogy "His Dark Materials" and the fictionalised biography of Jesus, "The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ". In 2008, "The Times" named Pullman one of the "50 greatest British writers since 1945". In a 2004 poll for the BBC, Pullman was named the eleventh most influential person in British culture., Jesus (; c. 4 BC  c. AD 30/33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a Jewish preacher and religious leader who became the central figure of Christianity. Christians believe him to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah (Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament.
Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically, although the quest for the historical Jesus has produced little agreement on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was baptized by John the Baptist and subsequently began his own ministry, preaching his message orally and often being referred to as "rabbi". He was arrested and tried by the Jewish authorities, and was crucified by the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect. Jesus debated fellow Jews on how to best follow God, performed healings, taught in parables and gathered followers. After his death, his followers believed he rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the Christian Church., The Subtle Knife, the second book in the "His Dark Materials" series, is a young-adult fantasy novel written by Philip Pullman and published in 1997. The novel continues the adventures of Lyra Belacqua as she investigates the mysterious Dust phenomenon and searches for her father. Will Parry is introduced as a companion to Lyra, and together they explore the new realms to which they have both been introduced., The Book of Dust is a forthcoming novel by Philip Pullman. It will be a companion novel to the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, and will feature Lyra Belacqua as a main character. Initially, Pullman said that the story will take place two years after the events of "Lyra's Oxford" and will tie into that book, with Lyra being "about sixteen." He has since said "it might be in two volumes and I think one might take place in the time before His Dark Materials and the other might take place afterwards." The book will also be "about Dust," and will address the lack of positive portrayals of religion in the "His Dark Materials" books, although it will not be a continuation of the trilogy., Subject: lyra's oxford, Relation: characters, Options: (A) character (B) death (C) lyra belacqua

SOLUTION: lyra belacqua

PROBLEM: Context: In physical geography, tundra is a type of biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term "tundra" comes through Russian  ("tûndra") from the Kildin Sami word "tndâr" "uplands", "treeless mountain tract". There are three types of tundra: Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, and Antarctic tundra. In tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra regions. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline., The Rocky Mountains, commonly known as the Rockies, are a major mountain range in western North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch more than from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States.

It traverses the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario, and is part of the international boundary between Ontario, Canada, and the U.S. state of New York. This river also provides the basis of the commercial Saint Lawrence Seaway., The Northwest Territories (also known as NWT; French: "les Territoires du Nord-Ouest", "TNO"; Athabaskan languages: "Denendeh"; Inuinnaqtun: "Nunatsiaq"; Inuktitut: ) is a territory of Canada. At a land area of approximately and a 2011 population of 41,462, it is the second largest and most populous of the three territories in Northern Canada. Its estimated population as of 2016 is 44,291. Yellowknife became the territorial capital in 1967, following recommendations by the Carrothers Commission., The Kaibuskong River is a small river in Nipissing District in northeastern Ontario, Canada that runs south through the Township of Bonfield from its source at Lake Nosbonsing. The river flows over a small dam just north of its source, then through two small lakes, La Chappelle Lake and Sheedy Lake, before emptying into Kaibuskong Bay on Lake Talon, from which it flows as part of the Mattawa River system to the Ottawa River., Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba in Canada. It is located near the longitudinal centre of North America, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers., Calgary is a city in the Canadian province of Alberta. It is situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, about east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies. In the 2011 census, the City of Calgary had a population of 1,096,833 and a metropolitan population of 1,214,839, making it the largest city in Alberta, and the third-largest municipality and fifth-largest census metropolitan area (CMA) in Canada., East Ferris is a township in northeastern Ontario , Canada located between Trout Lake and Lake Nosbonsing in the District of Nipissing .

Thus if a tributary stream joins a brook that in turn joins a small river which is a tributary of a larger river, there is a series of successively larger (and lower elevation) drainage basins. For instance, the Missouri and Ohio rivers are within their own drainage basins and also within the drainage basin of the Mississippi River., Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada.

Over its history, Canada's international borders have changed several times, and the country has grown from the original four provinces to the current ten provinces and three territories. The ten provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. Several of the provinces were former British colonies, Quebec was originally a French colony, while others were added as Canada grew. The three territories are Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon, which govern the rest of the area of the former British North America. Together, the provinces and territories make up the world's second-largest country by area., Nunavut (from Inuktitut:  ) is the newest, largest, northernmost, and least populous territory of Canada. It was separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999, via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, though the boundaries had been contemplatively drawn in 1993.

Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering , making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border. The majority of the country has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer. Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains. About four-fifths of the country's population of 36 million people is urbanized and live near the southern border. Its capital is Ottawa, its largest city is Toronto; other major urban areas include Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Quebec City, Winnipeg and Hamilton., Quebec City (pronounced or ) officially Québec) is the capital city of the Canadian province of Quebec.

It is home to the nation's capital city, Ottawa, and the nation's most populous city, Toronto., A lake is an area of variable size filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams., FOREST (short for "Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco") is a United Kingdom political pressure group which campaigns against tobacco control activity., Subject: east ferris, Relation: located_in_the_administrative_territorial_entity, Options: (A) alberta (B) basin (C) calgary (D) canada (E) capital region (F) central (G) central region (H) chicago (I) columbia (J) district (K) east (L) edmonton (M) forest (N) freedom (O) gatineau (P) lawrence (Q) mainland (R) manitoba (S) mexico (T) missouri (U) montreal (V) montréal (W) mount royal (X) mountain (Y) national capital region (Z) nevada ([) new brunswick (\) new york city (]) nipissing district (^) nord (_) north (`) north america (a) north bay (b) northeastern ontario (c) northern (d) northwest (e) northwest territories (f) nova scotia (g) nunavut (h) of (i) ohio (j) ontario (k) ottawa (l) quebec (m) quebec city (n) river (o) saint lawrence (p) saskatchewan (q) sierra nevada (r) south (s) southwest (t) the nation (u) toronto (v) united kingdom (w) vancouver (x) west (y) winnipeg
