Answer:
In this story, the marigolds represent things which are important to people, that is all those things which matter to us, where we put our efforts and energy to make them more perfect and beautiful.

D. Several factors led to the beginning of World War I.
The topic sentence from the passage shows us that it follows a cause and effect pattern. It sets the reader up to understand that the rest of the passage will be about several factors that caused World War I. The rest of the options are the different factors that led to World War I. They do not use key words that would indicate a cause and effect patterns like the words "Several" and "led" do in the first sentence.
Of the opening sentences that were presented here that strongly engages the reader and provides context to them would be the second one which is "We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs."
The first and third one were just not good enough because it exposes the rest of the context to the reader and lets them have the idea of what you are talking about which usually leads to the readers not choosing to continue to read, thus taking out the reader's engagement but still provides context. The last one is better than the first and third, but it spilled the beans when it mentioned the particulars as to what made the weekend bad to worse. The answer is just right. It has the impact that would hook the reader to know more about your weekend and why is Bigfoot and bugs together in your statement. The rain wasn't mentioned which would be ideal to make the story telling take a turn to much worse which would spike up the interest of the reader.
