Answer:

pleasant memories can calm a person during stressful times

Explanation:

Nadia's stage fright is written by Clark Benson. Nadia is practising one song over and over to perform and give her best in the Talent Show. Her partner during practising time is her pet Lucky who sits beside Nadia on the floor.

When Nadia was frightful in the 7th stanza, she calmed herself by remembering pleasant memories with Lucky. This shows that frightful or stressful emotions can be overcome by recalling pleasant memories.

And this also suggests the theme of the story that pleasant memories have the power to calm a person when he/she is stressful.

So, the correct answer is the last option.

Answer:

B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, Vashti and Kuno (her son). In the story, people were living underground and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global Machine. People were placed in isolated rooms where they communicated with other people through instant messages and video conferences. There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.

Unlike her son, Kuno, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, Vashti was "not interested in natural inspiration." So, this explains her remark above. It shows how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature. This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."

So, this explains the answer.
