"the price for an item is too high" - not a noun phrase. Actually, this is a clause, as it has a predicate of its own.
"a bottle of water while strolling" - not a noun phrase. "A bottle of water" would be a noun phrase (a phrase that has a noun as a headword), but "while strolling" is an adverbial phrase that describes the verb "buy".
"The same brand of bottled water" - noun phrase. The headword is "brand", and all the other words cling to it and provide additional explanation.
"a pair of athletic shoes" - noun phrase. The headword is "pair".
Chiaroscuro means using strong contrasts between light and dark for dramatic effect.
I'd say A.
The word "describing" or almost anything ending with "ing" signifies an action occuring now, or in the present. B, C, and D use "when describing" which leads to the assumption that these things listed are taken into account while the landscape is being described but answer choice A uses "when they describe" which is passive rather than active.
Your answer would be "Enough"
In the first excerpt, First generation, and second excerpt, Like Americans, they are both similar because both of them relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions.
Correct option is A.
"Each relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions."
They are similar insofar that they use the same tenses, that is the past simple tense, and short clear sentences that tell of a story in the past. The style is simple with few adjectives and not that many clauses or phrases. This kind of a style was made popular by Ernest Hemingway, but others wrote like it too, like the paragraphs here.
