(C) "serpentine"
Serpentine is a winding word. The phrase would read "The mountain road was distinctly serpentine: it twisted back and forth along the contours of the hillside" if this term were added to the text.
The comma denotes that the meaning of the omitted phrase will be clarified in the second clause of the sentence. Because a winding road does actually curve "back and forth," the word "serpentine" matches the text. The answer is not (A).
A panoramic view is one that encompasses the entire surrounding region. (B) is the wrong answer. Precipitous refers to a steep slope. The answer is not (D). The term "circumscribed" describes something that is restrained or encircled by a line. The answer is not (E). Moving backward is referred to as retrograding.

Hello :) we got similar answers but i believe you made a few distributing mistakes! hopefully my work makes sense, if not i’ll totally try to explain more
p.s i might be too late whoops
p.p.s i’m in a higher grade but i haven’t done this kinda math in a longgg time haha so if you think i did something wrong trust your gut ✌️
Find the greatest common factor (GCF)
in this case it would be 9
divide each term by the GCF
36 / 9 = 4
9y / 9 = y
put the two "new" terms in parenthesis and the GCF in front of it
9 (4 + y)
it could also be 9 (y + 4) because of Commutative Property of Addition
