Answer: B) to help the reader visualize Mrs. Sommers setting herself apart from the more crowded bargain area of the store.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "A Pair of Silk Stockings" we can see the description of how Mrs. Sommers sat before a counter, to rest and gain strength and courage to confront the multitude again. The author uses the expression "comparatively deserted" to describe the counter where Mrs. Sommers sits to help the reader visualize Mrs. Sommers setting herself apart from the more crowded bargain area of the store, the counter where she seats is empty, compared to the rest of the store.

Read the paragraph.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

4). At the skyscraper, we watched them in action building their masterpiece.

Explanation:

As per the question, option 4 displays the sentence that is written in active voice as the subject/doer is accomplishing the action expressed by the verb in the sentence which is contrary to the sentence written in passive voice which involves a subject that receives the action or being acted upon(by the verb). Options 1, 2, and 3 emphasizes the object('the skyscraper visit', 'the museum', and 'those works of art') instead of the subject which implies that they are the recipient of the action. Thus, only option 4 contains the subject 'we' that is performing the action 'watched' rather then receiving it. Therefore, <u>option 4</u> is the correct answer.
