B. distant I think

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. NO CHANGE is your answer.

Explanation:
Since the question asks us to connect an adjective to what the sentence is about, let’s first figure out what is being described. The bits of information we have are:
Something about stars
A foreign word for the stars
The stars look like a type of plow
Now, let’s see which word choice connects with one of these pieces of information.

“Distant” means far away. Certainly the stars are far away, but in this sentence “distant” would modify “parts of Japan” and nothing in the sentence discusses geographic distances of any kind.
“Populated” means inhabited, or where people live. That doesn’t go with anything else in the sentence.
“Historic” means important because of past events that happened there. Again, this doesn’t connect with anything in the sentence.
The original word “agricultural” means having to do with farming. And that goes directly with the fact that the stars represent a “three-pronged plow,” a type of farming implement.
