The right answer is "indignant "

The text makes it very clear that the author is disappointed with some action taken by Stephen Mackaye who was someone to whom he had great consideration that turned into indignation.

The passage in the text that makes this indignation more evident is : "<em> I always sized Steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. I shall never trust my judgment in men again. Why, I nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the Stewart; and he saved my life on the Little Salmon. And now, after the years we were together, all I can say of Stephen Mackaye is that he is the meanest man I ever knew. </em>"

Answer: The mayor commemorates and gives praise to those who were killed while building the bridge.

The option that best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt is option B "The mayor commemorates and gives praise to those who were killed while building the bridge".

This can be seen in the excerpt when the Mayor of the city of Brooklyn said they should recall with kindness the work of the people who contributed to the building of the bridge but had died.

What Is Iambic Tetrameter?
marin [14]
An "iamb" is a word or set of words that goes 'da-DAH', like "my KNEE",
or "your FACE", or "his DOG", or "come HERE".

Many poems have the same rhythm (beat) in each line, and there are different
rhythms they can have.  I can show you that, if I take a poem you know, and
recite it first with the correct beat, and then with the wrong beat.

Here's the correct beat:
MAH-ree HAD a LIT-tle LAMB its FLEECE was WHITE as SNOW.

For the wrong beat, let's use 'iambs' like I explained up above:
ma-REE had A lit-TLE lamb ITS fleece WAS white AS snow.

If a poem is in the rhythm of "iambic tetrameter", then each line is
made out iambs, and there are 4 of them ("tetra") in each line.

Now I have to try and find an example for you.  Thank you very much.

I'll make one up.  Remember, an iamb goes 'da-DAH":

my DOG came IN-to SCHOOL one DAY
and CHASED the HAM-sters ALL a-ROUND.
the PRIN-ci-PLE came IN-to CLASS
and TOOK my DOG down TO the POUND.

(The dog 'pound' is the shelter for stray dogs.)
