d) Land mines
e) Phone books

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 the walking
to a more correct answer.
