If you don't know what the word "desolate" means, you can use prefixes, suffixes, and root words in addition to context clues to figure out the meaning. First, we have the prefix "de-" which implies removal or lack of something. Next, the word "-late" can mean after, the end of, etc. "Sol" is usually used in nouns referring to something to do with soil. So, it could mean something like "no plant life, it's past growing season" or something, considering it is talking about a field. The correct answer is A. deserted. Hope this helps!

Hello There!

I'm pretty sure it is C. Friendly-looking dog.
In all the other examples a comma should have been used as it is a 'list'

Please help!! Identify each characteristic as common to either modern theater or Elizabethan theater.
Drupady [299]

In Elizabethan theater, the lighting was natural, adding only candles or torches, as most of the plays were performed during the day or afternoon. In modern theater, lighting is artificial and carefully planned to establish mood, control the audience´s focus of attention and enhance the meaning of the play.

While In Elizabethan theater plays were performed in courtyards, Inn-yards, playhouses, and amphitheaters where actors had to rely on the power of their voices to reach the audience, in modern theater microphones can be used to help the audience hear the actors during a play.

While In Elizabethan theater crowds could cheer and boo actors during the performance, as the theater was designed for the actor to speak with and directly to the audience, in the modern theater the crowd maintains silence during the performance and the actors do not speak nor acknowledge the audience.

In modern theatre, the most expensive seats are in front of the stage, in opposition to Elizabethan theatre where the cheap seats were in the front and the expensive seats were above and behind the players.

Word choice is used to get a point across.  So if you look a choice A, the author definitely does not feel that the manufacturers are striving to provide COMPLETE information (or there wouldn't be the questions).  I would say the same thing for D, making that an incorrect answer.  Looking at B and C, the author does use exaggeration in personification, but he doesn't mention sales.  He does however set a frustrated tone and touches on confusion of the customers, so I feel that C is the best answer here.
