D) However, the idea never dawned on me that long before Columbus ever left Spain, real-life people lived for thousands of years in what would become the United States.

This sentence has the most clarity because none of the pieces interrupt another. It begins with the transition that shows what follows is a change. The next piece is the narrator talking about the idea that never dawned on her. By having this part first, we know that the information that follows is the idea that never entered her mind until now. Then the idea follows. In option C the idea statement is interrupted by the actual idea. In option B the idea statement is interrupted by however. Option A has the idea statement after the entire rest of the sentence which also doesn't work for clarity.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Grace [21]

The answer is D. Cheerless

 

The figurative language that exists within this excerpt can be identified with the phrases “recesses … to which he never came,” “his austerity could never blight,” and “keep the fire of my nature continually low,” provide readers with a feeling of loneliness, suppression, and sadness.  A person who felt this way or spoke these things would most likely be without happiness and without cheer—or cheerless.

sladkih [1.3K]

The correct answer to what does Brueghel's painting include that isn't mentioned in Ovid's original myth about Icarus is C. A ship.

In Ovid's original myth, Icarus and his father Daedalus escape from the island of Crete flying with wings made by Daedalus using feathers and bee wax. While they succeed in flying, Icarus ignores his father's warning and flies too close to the sun. The wax melts and he falls to the sea and drowns.

Ovid mentions obviously the sun and Daedalus, since they are crucial elements of the myth, but he also mentions a ploughman and a shepperd who are "astonished and thinks to see gods approaching them through the aether."

The only element that is not mentioned in the myth and appears in the painting is the ship, which may have been included to give more power to the composition of the painting.
