The correct answer is The plain is to a cheetah as the sky is to a falcon

Answer:
The group of friends came to an agreement about the movie they would see together.
Explanation:
Indeed, it skips most of the preceding phrasing while retaining the sentence's meaning and breadth. It conveys the idea that they got to this arrangement jointly and that it was about which film to watch.
A possible alternative:
- The group of friends came to a consensual agreement to see a movie together.
This is the greatest answer (not including C.) since the term "consensual" characterizes the agreement they reached, which was mutual and in which everyone participated and accepted the choice. Furthermore, the choice of words and their placement (first the subject, then the verb, and finally the complement) makes the phrase shorter and simpler to understand than the other possibilities.
I believe the correct answer is: “Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf…”
The setting of the narrative represents the place where narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story begins or where story happens (at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage).
Therefore, the excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage is:
"Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf with fine-toothed edges, then let it drop so he could capture a newer one, a larger, brilliantly red leaf whose crinkled surface curled like the palm of a hand. Behind him, at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage."
