lakkis [162]

Answer:

The bushes are dancing because:

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:

<em>[...] and the bushes fairly danced with birds.</em>

<em>[...] as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches.</em>

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.

Answer:

B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.  

Explanation:

The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.

Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."

So, this explains the answer.
