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.

We find out that a young boy named Ender is chosen to save the world from bug.gers - being only a a six-year-old boy and having his monitor removed that allowed the government to see the world through his eyes. He is bullied at school and decides to confront his bully and he hurts him, however after giving proper reasons for that, it turns out it was just a test, and he is admitted into Battle School where he is to be trained to become a commander. He is constantly tormented by feeling that he is the same as his cruel brother Peter, when in fact he is half Peter, half his gentle sister - which is exactly the reason why he was chosen to become a commander. He is transferred to the Salamander Army where he befriends Petra Arkanian who helps him train, however, the commander Bonzo Madrid hates him and transfers him to the Rat Army. A couple of years go by, and he becomes commander of the Phoenix Army and has his own soldiers to train - however, he starts doubting the system and wants to defeat it. There is a conspiracy against Ender as many students hate him - however, when confronted with them, Ender manages to kill Bonzo although he is unaware of it (just like he is unaware that he killed his bully many years ago).
That's the summary of the first 12 chapters, hope this helps!
