"Then" is used in an "if-then" scenario, to dictate chronological order. In other words, "If you jump off, then you will fall," or "he was attacked and then retreated."
"Than" is used for comparisons. In other words, "The egg was bigger than the pea," or "I'm stronger than you."
        
                    
             
        
        
        
 b) The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, earned a staggering $1 billion in 2017, and college athletes will never see a penny of that profit.
Option B is the best hook for an argument in favor of paying college athletes. A hook is the first sentence or two of the essay that gets the reader interested in the topic of the essay. In this hook, the author provides startling data to hook the audience. People may want to better understand what the NCAA does with all that money. It's also obvious this hook what the author's stance is on the topic. The use of the word "staggering" and "never" set the tone that author is appalled by this. Option A is too vague. So what if they make a lot of money...good for them. Or the audience might already know it. Why would they then want to read the essay. Option D has a similar problem. The question is a yes or no answer. The audience says no so what then, or even if they say yes. Where does the essay go from there? A hook should entice the audience and make them want more.

D). He has been bitten by the exploration bug.
Explanation:
The thing that we learn from the given passage is that Harry has probably been bitten by an exploration bug that is explicit through his 'journey thru the center of the earth'. Thus, option D displays the most appropriate inference about Harry. The other options suggest unsubstantiated claims. Option A is wrong as there is no description of food while options B and C are incorrect as there is no clarity about the character traits that would state the character as static or dynamic. This makes us conclude option D as the answer.
