and the answer would be:
1.the decorations were reminiscent (=reminding) of autumn leaves.
2.No buildings still stood at the epicenter=
- point on earth directly above an earthquake.
3.The puppy
wrested (pulled) the squeaky toy from under the couch.
4.Luis angled the car obliquely into the parking spot and
passed his drivers license test
Here the best answer is "indirectly" since it's one of the meanings of the word "obliquely.

1. If a person accepts responsibility for what they said - they acknowledge awareness of consequences. For instance if you said something wrong to your parents and apologies later, it shows that you acknowledge your wrongs and you're aware of the consequences.
2. When you accept responsibility you become more vocal and confident to communicate.
3. If you take responsibility, you can be trusted to do a job. Effective communication will not happen where there's no trust, reliability and responsibility.
4. And if you want to keep a relationship, sometimes you need to make sacrifices.
A best supports the argument because it is the only answer that describes the pros of having mice as pets, while the others provide tips and facts upon adopting them.
