Answer:
Bradford describes how several difficulties the Puritans would face during their emigration and settlement in the New World.
Explanation:
Before the Puritans arrived in the New World, William Bradford describes their choice of making the migration across the Atlantic a dangerous and daring one. He warned them about the danger in the form of wild nature and barbarous people, they would likely going encounter. While the Puritans were excited about being able to exercise their religion with freedom as they were approaching away from the orthodox clutches of England and they were also keen on securing free land at the new settlement. These conceptions were based on the writings circulated in Europe about the brutish description of the natives of the New World.
I would choose option A for this very subjective question, as "handiness" would capture the suitability of form and ease of access. Which are features present in the construction of the birds nest, that represent its perfect convenience, along with beauty and contexture. And not only the form.
But taking the answer given, and assuming that the whole Montaigne piece focuses in the material aspects of nature´s creations, not the functional aspects, "Suitability of form" is the right answer, as it already relates to the next example of nature´s perfection: the spider web.
There are two prepositional phrases acting as adverbs in the given sentence: <em>in a fresh-water lake </em>and <em>in a chlorinated pool.</em>
<em />
Explanation:
A prepositional phrase is a group of words consisting of a preposition, its object, and words modifying the object. Most commonly, they modify nouns and verbs and can function as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns. Prepositional phrases that function as adverbs are called adverb prepositional phrases.
In the sentence <em>Joe and Hannah, the twins next door to me, prefer to swim in a fresh-water lake rather than in a chlorinated pool </em>we can see two adverb prepositional phrases: <em>in a fresh-water lake </em>and <em>in a chlorinated pool. </em>They modify the verb <em>to swim</em>. Like adverbs that modify verbs, adverb prepositional phrases can give us information about where, when, why, how, and to what extent the action described by the verb takes place. In this case, we receive information about the location (<em>to swim</em> <u><em>in a fresh-water lake</em></u><em> </em>and <em>to swim</em> <u><em>in a chlorinated pool</em></u><em>).</em>
