Answer:
A - Astronauts observe what happens on Earth.
Explanation:
This statement is the least helpful to create a summary. The passage is rich with detail of WHAT can be observed, recorded, and reported. This option is too vague.
I think it might be "what are you doing tonight"
Answer:
The correct answer is A. "Fadeth" and "ruin'd."
Fadeth is just the old English way to write fade, and the verb to fade has a slightly negative connotation. If something fades, it disappears and you no longer have it. Similarly, ruin'd (which obviously stands for ruined), has a clearly negative connotation - meaning that something is destroyed.
So these two words give off the impression of a tone which is bad, sad, or gloomy, and therefore is the correct answer here.
Explanation:
Sad and gloomy. Words such as "expire," "death," and "ashes" give Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" which kind of tone? Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
