Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the A) cynical and calculating.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this passage from Harper Lee's <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>, the character of Scout is using a cynical and carefully chosen tone in order to describe how women behaved and looked in the town of Maycomb. Specifically, he is comparing them to "soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and talcum." Those words do not sound sad, lonely, childlike, magical, confused or meandering, but visually powerful, mocking, and disenchanted.

I would say childlike and magical because it is not calculating or lonely and it is not confusing

Macy enters a formula and presses Enter. She sees #Data! in the cell instead of the answer. This means _____.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

It is impossible to her to see the answer because there is too much of her data and it can't be calculated in appropriate way. If she lowers her data, then she can see her answer where she entered it in the cell.

She must know how much data is too much data so she could know how much of it she can enter successfully to the cell. The answer c) can also be right but it depends of how much data did she enter.

D) cannot be correct because the computer will never show if there is a mistake in the formula and answer A) cannot be correct to because it don't depend on cell wide.
