I would say C because this passage talks about green building and how it's beneficial. Sentence 4 mentions about what the green roofs are made of and I don't think that would be necessary to include in this passage.
I inferred you are referring to this excerpt from the text;
"Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, — if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing."
<u>Explanation</u>:
The author here uses her personal experience of been deaf-blind to assert that an individual's happiness is not dependent on his or her circumstances. Helen says "I who cannot hear or see...I am happy in spite of my deprivations if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life."
We notice her use of convincing language such as when she says "my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing", this language gives her message a convincing feel.

The answer to this question is "<em>There are various ways to determine the meaning of a word, including dictionaries, thesaurus, and context clues.</em>" The reason why is because when we are reading a story the definition of the word is not always included, however the author might leave a portion of text which might indicate what the meaning might be. Then there is the case where there is no context clues that the author left us and so instead we look up the word in the dictionary. The last one is where at the end of the book the thesaurus is found there they have definitions of the words that are found in the book. Hope this helps!
