Answer:

The aye-aye is one of the most  <u>extraordinary</u>-looking creatures on earth.

Explanation:

Every word has two kinds of meaning:

  • Denotation - what the word literally means;
  • Connotation - the emotional or cultural association the word carries.

The word that would create the most positive connotation is <em>extraordinary. </em>When we say that something is extraordinary, we think that it's very unusual (in a positive way) or remarkable.

When something is outlandish, it is freakishly strange or odd. The connotation of this word is somewhat negative. When something is strange, it's unusual or difficult to explain, and when something is unusual, it's something that doesn't commonly occur. The words <em>strange </em>and <em>unusual </em>have a relatively neutral connotation.

Thus, the correct option is extraordinary.

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.
