Answer:

C) Kerouac’s use of syntax gives his writing the natural ease and flow of informal conversation

Explanation:

"Dean had arrived the night before, the first time in New York, with his beautiful little sharp chick Marylou; they got off the Greyhound ..." This quotation exemplifies Kerouac’s use of conversational syntax, which means that some words are omitted. He does not use all the words in the expression , the first time in New York. The reader assumes it refers to Dean and Marylou's first time in New York. The use of colloquial words also gives the text a conversational tone: sharp chick- smart woman- . Then , the writer, jumps onto another event ; he tells how these two persons arrived in New York: they got off the Greyhound bus. The reader has to reconstruct the whole idea. This could be : Dean and Marylou arrived in New York for the first time. They had got by bus from Greyhound and got off at 50th Street.

4. The birds are hopping around in the branches.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here clearly states that it is because of the birds that the bushes seem to be dancing:

[...] and the bushes fairly danced with birds.

[...] as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches.

The birds are hopping, stretching their wings, puffing out their chests, all the while making the bushes' branches sway. Why does the author use the word "dancing" to describe the movement of the branches, then? This is a technique called personification. Bushes cannot dance but, by saying so, the author conveys the idea that the way the bushes are moving is beautiful, rhythmic, hypnotizing, just like dancing.
