Answer: A - agitation
Explanation:
We noticed synonyms in the passage as it calmed down, as it was not calm; convulsively - another synonym for agitation; an intelligible prayer - with a sense of agitation.
The answer choice that does not contain any capitalization errors is B) "Even mature children," he said, "have no patience for a long delay."
Answer 4 cannot be it right off the bat, since compound-compound doesn't exist.
If a compound - complex sentence loses the dependent clause, it is no longer complex, since complex sentences require a dependent and to independent clauses conjoined with a comma and conjunction such as "and". So answer 3 can not be it.
So that leaves either simple or compound.
The sentence is still contains an independent clause from when it was compound-complex, therefore answer 2, compound, is the answer.
It has to past tense because it is based on the past
