Question

So the egg won. And it's just an egg. "This is madness. What a time to be alive." How do the two sentences taken together develop a key concept of the article? A by reinforcing the idea that the egg becoming the most liked post on Instagram was a surprise B by suggesting that any photo that becomes the most liked post on Instagram is usually a simple photo C by describing how people were affected by an egg becoming the most liked post on Instagram D by providing some historical context to an egg being able to become the most liked post on Instagram

Answer 1

A by reinforcing the idea that the egg becoming the most liked post on Instagram was a surprise

The first sentences show that an egg won for the most liked post and the words "just an egg" indicate a slight surprise. The next two sentences describing the egg winning as madness furthers this element of surprise. The other options are incorrect because even though the phrase "just an egg" can be used to infer that the photo was simple is not enough to show that any photo that is the most liked is a simple photo. There is also no historical context given in these lines and the lines do not describe how people were affected.
