If you referred the " The Village Blacksmith" poem, it might be said that it is extraordinary because, even though it was published in 1840, it portrays a local blacksmith and his daily life. It might describe a role model who should balance his job, his family and community. The topic is still current, valid nowadays.
I am sure it is D.); The other options do not make sense. The most logical answer is D.)
The correct answer is A. The second passage does not imply any indication to save people, so it is not c.
The first passage is not only about turtles, so the answer is not b.
Neither passage is talking of public libraries or beaches, so it is certainly not d.
Therefore the only logical answer is a. One is talking about efforts being made to save a wildlife habitat, while the other speaks of a bustling city and its prospects.
Hope this helps!
