Answer and explanation:

Let's be careful with this question, because we cannot simply interpret the adjective "prevailing" in its original sense. Prevailing, by itself, refers to something existing at a particular time, or something that is influential. However, when referring to winds, prevailing has a more specific meaning.<u> A prevailing wind is a wind in a certain area or region of our planet that blows predominantly from a particular direction. </u>This type of wind can be permanent in some places while, in others, it may take place during a certain period of the year. <u>Therefore, the word prevailing in the excerpt suggests that the wind that allowed Magellan's ships to sail with fewer crew members was constantly blowing from a particular direction. That would probably have made sailing easier and faster than usual.</u>

Read this excerpt from a passage.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The main idea is to present the feelings the person had before amazon became what it is today. I had my own misgivings about ordering on line until I realized that I really had no choice. I live in a small community of about 800 people. There is a Walmart in the next town over (which has a population of 5000), but I'm not fond of what they did to small businesses.

So the choice was shop at a place I don't like or order through the mail. I didn't really make up my mind until about 2 years ago. Then it was fine.

The author of what you quoted had many of the same feelings. It's a gamble putting money where the system can be broken into and that is what this is all about --  fear of trying something you don't trust.

The answer is B, I think
