Answer:
The statement that best describes the excerpt is:
3- Most of the sentences have a similar structure.
Explanation:
The first two sentences may seem longer, having more elements. But from the third sentence on, what we have are simple clauses, independent sentences. The structure is so similar that Paine was able to omit the verb "to be" from the fourth sentence on, since it had been mentioned in the previous sentence, and the other are somehow a continuation of that same idea. Therefore, we can safely say that most of the sentences have a similar structure.
Answer:
B. She grinned wickedly
Explanation:
If you were to pull a prank on someone, it would be to have a laugh. You Would not sigh before doing so (choice A) and you would not be confused (choice c). So you answer must be B or D. It is B because a "Wicked grin" shows great signs of glee.
I would choose option A for this very subjective question, as "handiness" would capture the suitability of form and ease of access. Which are features present in the construction of the birds nest, that represent its perfect convenience, along with beauty and contexture. And not only the form.
But taking the answer given, and assuming that the whole Montaigne piece focuses in the material aspects of nature´s creations, not the functional aspects, "Suitability of form" is the right answer, as it already relates to the next example of nature´s perfection: the spider web.
