The author of ''A mountaing calling'' suggests that John Muir valued nature. This statement can be supported because in paragraph 1 it says how John Muir never liked the word ''hike''. The author adds how in the 19th century the American society's connection to nature had grown increasingly shallow and rigid and hasty. John Muir on the other hand preferred to saunter. Sauntering meant to value what you see, and this is what John Muir spent is whole life doing: valuing and enjoying nature, instead of rushing to be the first. Another evidence that supports that John Muir valued nature when Muir was in his 30's he had stumbled upon the great California's Sierra Nevada mountains. He would scramble down steep cliff faces to get a closer look at the waterfalls and would jump and howl to show how much he loved nature (paragraph 4). Muir would also do some soulful writing about the places he visited (paragraph 5).

Answer:
Hyperbole.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration for emphasis. The athlete didn't actually <em>tear</em> down the road, but a reader can tell that he was running as fast as he could so he could take first place.
The correct answer is A. In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
Explanation
The excerpt talks about traders who traded in black pepper grown in southwestern India, which meant too long a journey to bring these products to Europe. In the first place they had to be transported to Arabia, and from there to Syria where European merchants acquired it to take it to the different kingdoms of Europe as the author mentions when saying that "From India the pepper was shipped across to Arabia, where camel caravans would carry it all the way to Syria. The Italians could purchase enough pepper in Syria to carry with them to the next Champagne fair". According to the above, the correct answer is A. In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
