Answer:
(A) Boak believes the competition's combination of nature appreciation and humor is what drives Fat Bear Week's increase in popularity.
Explanation:
In The Washington Post article "A Fat Bear Week champion has been crowned: 747 is 2020's thickest king" by Natalie B. Compton, the week-long annual tradition of selecting the fattest/ heaviest bear post hibernation's result is declared. This event may also be the only natural and humorous competition that celebrates bears for getting fat.
Naomi Boak, the media ranger for Katmai National Park and Preserve recalls how the competition started and how it is still held every year. Moreover, her comment<em> "how often does one get to celebrate fatness?" </em>proves the point that the competition is a combination of nature appreciation and humor. And it is this very essence that drives Fat Bear Week's increase in popularity, be it through tourist visits or even bear cams where people can see them online.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
B) The daily work continued; nay, it actually increased;
Something that is happening on a consistent basis. It also gives the feeling that it is work to make it persistent. In option B, the statement "daily work" indicates that something is done daily which supports the idea of persistent. The sentence containing the line "The daily work continued; nay, it actually increased" also includes the description "with an astonishing pertinacity." Pertinacity means persistent determination. The brain failing and life slipping away does not show any persistent determination. Also, the statement that she inquired with acute anxiety does not how any persistent determination.
It’s saying the sea “licked greedy lips” the Sea doesn’t have lips so it’s a type of personification because it’s giving a non living thing humanistic characters.
