A "The spring of 1998 was the Halley’s Comet of desert wildflower years." (lines 1–2)
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's scientific essey "Called Out". It describes events in the spring of 1998 and gives insight on magnificent and complex life cycle of desert plants.
The given sentence provides description of the highway medians suggesting that there were unusually many flowers, rarely seen before.
That provides evidence to answer A. which claims that that spring was the Halley's Comet of desert wildflower years. Halley's Comet is a rare phenomenon that happens only once every 76 years, so by making this comparison, the author claims that what happened that spring was a true botanical rarity.

This was because Sally came from a monochronic culture.
Explanation:
In a monochronic culture, the people value time and are also decision-oriented. They know what they want and would talk or do things straight to the point instead of dillydallying. On the other hand, polychronic cultures like China tend to be more multi- in their sense of time and behavior and even interactions with others.
So, while listeners in monochronic culture want directness in conversations, it is quite the opposite in a polychronic culture. For the latter, creating a friendly environment, getting to know the person, etc. are all aspects of their culture.
Thus, when Sally decided that her hosts are inefficient in their type of communication, that was because her culture differs from that of her hosts.
