Answer:
B
Explanation:
Discarded is used to refer to something that has been thrown away or placed in the garbage due to disuse. Items like tires eventually wear out and are often sent to dumps before being recycled. The word discarded is strongly associated with refuse and unwanted items.
In much the same way, ideas can also be discarded as not worth the effort or resources to carry out.

Answer: The sea was like a rippling blanket of brochure-blue. Squabbling seagulls flew overhead, harassing the beachgoers in their endless hunger. Gannets were dive-bombing the stretched surface of the sea far out from shore. The horizon was edged with a silver tint and a cormorant was flying into that place where sun and water meet. His wings were a blur of motion and he soon faded from sight. The opera of the sea washed over me and the wave-music was welcome.
