Answer:
Maria should look in the engineering terminology book for the meaning of 'columns' or look in the dictionary for its technical meaning.
Explanation:
In the context, Maria who is referring an online text source, is reading about some engineering process. She comes across the word 'columns' which she believes she knew its meaning but she verify by looking the meaning of the word 'column' in an engineering terminology book.
She can also refer to a dictionary and look for its technical meaning. As in typography, the word 'column' means a vertical division of any page or the text. But in engineering, a 'column' may refer to a vertical pillar.

It was on such an island, in the third summer of its yellow green, that we built our watch fire; not in the thicket of dancing willow wands, but on the level terrace of fine sand which had been added that spring; a little new bit of world, beautifully ridged with ripple marks, and strewn with the tiny skeletons of turtles and fish, all as white and dry as if they had been expertly cured. We had been careful not to mar the freshness of the place, although we often swam to it on summer evenings and lay on the sand to rest.
Idk nothing whats the actual question?
