Use the excerpt to answer the question.
“Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, is banned from travelling to the United States and western Europe. He has been accused of torture and human rights abuses—he has thrown his opponents in prison, banned protests and restricted freedom of expression. . . . There is no presidential term limit here [Belarus] and the 1996 referendum consolidated Mr Lukashenko’s power. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West. Not a single opposition candidate won a seat in the recent, parliamentary vote. Protests have been violently supressed.”

The answer is dictatorship when only one person is in charge of everybody
In answer to your first question, Belarus has a dictatorship. Mr. Lukashenko has been in power for 18 years, and he has been accused of torture and human rights abuses. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West, and protests have been violently suppressed. So yeah, I'd say it's pretty dictatorial.
And in response to your second question, the Kyoto Protocol was designed to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases linked to climate change. So it's all about saving the planet from turning into a sauna.
To answer the first question, the excerpt provides us with information about the political situation in Belarus. It mentions that Alexander Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, has been accused of human rights abuses, torture, and restricting freedom of expression. The excerpt also states that there is no presidential term limit in Belarus, and that not a single election has been deemed as free or fair by the West. These details indicate that Belarus has a dictatorship, making option C the correct answer.
To answer the second question, the excerpt does not provide any information about the Kyoto Protocol. Therefore, we can't directly determine the answer from the given excerpt. However, if we have knowledge about the Kyoto Protocol, we know that it is an international agreement designed to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases linked to climate change. This aligns with option A, making it the correct answer.
