Internet Search Engine
In the excerpt it shows that the "web navigator" is something that you type "arcane codes and symbols into" and then you are "flooded with fifty thousand incorrect answers". This is exactly what we do now with search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing. We type in what we are looking for and in return get a list of possible results, many of which are not what we were looking for. This makes Internet Search Engine the best option.
First off, a compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses. That tells us <em><u>C</u></em> is out almost immediately because it has a dependent clause, "After Maria finished dinner". Next, is <em><u>B</u></em>, That's a simple sentence, there's no joining method or comma and it only has one subject and one predicate. D isn't right either, it just about the same as <u><em>B</em></u><em />. Your answer would be <em><u>A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon.</u></em><u /><u /> This sentence has a joining clause, and two <em>independent </em>subjects.
Hope this helps,

Explanation: Annie Dillard speaks to a very general public, her audience is every person that would like to reflect on who we are for the world, and her purpose is to raise awareness on people through metaphors and allegories. She compares, for instance, mangroves to humans, saying that we are "the sojourners" on our planet, being nomads and not belonging anywhere, but she also refers to the planet itself as a sojourner.
