It is true that semantics (a branch of language dealing with the meaning of words) considers both the connotation (the feelings a word evokes in you) and the denotation (the actual meaning of the word) of words.
Answer: At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.
Explanation:
''At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.'' is a detail that is not supporting the main idea because it is excessive. The main idea of the paragraph is describing the type of weather event between the sun and the wind including speed and type of the wind.
- Because of that, we can feel that the described trip from New York City to Los Angeles is a sentence that does not belong in this passage and this one sentence is acting outstandingly in the passage.
Other sentences are well connected and that is why they are incorrect answers.
