The right answer is " It shares the detail that the war lasted four years."
In the first paragraph of The Dark Game, the author makes a succinct, detailed account of the duration of the war, which was 4 years.

Diana L. Eck is an American scholar of religious studies and professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies at Harvard University. She is also the Director of <em>The Pluralism Project</em> at Harvard.
In this excerpt, the order in which she presents the items serves a rhetorical purpose. The items are listed in order of how "accepted" they are in mainstream American society.

Answer:
(D) previous Actuarian.
Explanation:
The word "predecessor" refers to someone who comes before the present or current one. In other words, the person who came before us, be it in a job or any work is the predecessor.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
