Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

She held up her hands, strong, shapely hands, and surveyed them critically, drawing up her fawn sleeves above the wrists. Looking at them reminded her of her rings, which she had given to her husband before leaving for the beach. Which is the best evidence that “surveyed” means “looked at”?

The author uses both “surveyed” and “looking” to describe the narrator observing her hands.

The author uses a verb form of “to survey” instead of “to look” to help the reader visualize more clearly.

The author is describing a character’s strong, shapely hands, with missing rings on the fingers.

The author is describing a routine, personal exchange between a wife and her husband.

Answer:

The author uses both “surveyed” and “looking” to describe the narrator observing her hands.

Explanation:

It is very common for authors to give clues as to what a word means. Those are called context clues and can be used by readers to decipher a new or uncommon word without looking it up at a dictionary. In the passage we are studying here, the author Kate Chopin used two verbs to describe the same action. She first mentions how the character surveyed her own hands. In the sentence the immediately follows, she continues describing the same action, but now saying the character is looking at her hands. From that context clue, the reader can safely conclude that "survey" and "look at" refer to the same action and are, thus, synonyms in this context.

Why does lena younger oppose her son walter's liquor store scheme?
Bezzdna [24]
She looks down upon it.


In _A Raisin in the Sun_ by Lorraine Hansberry, Walter Younger has a plan to open up a liquor store.  Normally, a parent would support a child’s ambitions, but in the instance of Walter Younger this is not the case.  His mother Lena Younger opposes his opening of a liquor store because she is morally opposed to the drinking of alcohol and looks down upon it and what it can lead to.

Answer:

formal

Explanation:

'strict' and 'harsh' are out because business letters are not meant to insult or criticise, but rather to be courteous (polite). 'fancy' is out because business letters do not use unnecessarily flowery language.

as such, that only leaves us with 'formal' which is an appropriate tone for a business letter since it conveys a sense of seriousness.

i hope this helps! :D
