The correct answer is letter b.
The excerpt is written in the Simple Past and narrates a series of events that happened in a sequence.
Notice the verbs in the Simple Past : wept, wailed, fell, faded and died.
There is a verb missing in the part " the earth stiff and cold" The verb is grow, the Simple Past form is grew, therefore " the earth grew stiff and cold" is the correct way.
Letter A is wrong because there's a verb missing.
Letter C and letter D " the earth was growing stiff and cold" the verb grow is in the Past Continuos, " the leaves were falling from the sorrowing trees" the verb fall is also in the Past Continous breaking the pattern stablished.
Hello Bluekola888,
Nice to meet you!
Your questions: What skill is "critical" to success in online learning?
Your answer: Skills needed for online learning would be computer literacy, you have to be an active learner, you have to be good in reading and writing. But the most critical that I BELIEVE are CRITICAL is having time commitment and being self motivated.
Thanks for your time and have a great day!

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Some of the details that help the author to achieve the goal of letting readers know what they're getting into if they practice Kitesurfing are the following.
Tyronne Skenkel is the author of the article "Flying Above the Water."
Although he is very enthusiastic about his extreme sport Kitesurfing, he wants the readers to know that despite Kitesurfing is a challenging but highly exciting water sport, there are some risks that need to be considered. In the article, he says that "one minute you're on the water, and the next your heart skips a beat as you're soaring
through the air."
So there are high emotions involved in this new extreme sports that is practiced in Australia and Brasil, but it is not for everybody because there are considerable risks. However, the author says it is so much fun to practice and it is becoming very popular.
