Answer:
A: It does not convey to power and immensity of the idea.
Explanation:
The given question refers to the essay <em>Love's Vocabulary</em> by Diane Ackerman.
<em>How can love’s spaciousness be conveyed in the narrow confines of one syllable? </em>-<em> </em>asks the author. She discusses the origin of the word, and how people use it: <em>We use the word love in such a sloppy way that it can mean almost nothing or absolutely everything.</em>
The problem is not that the word <em>love </em>consists of only one syllable, but that such a powerful, diverse feeling is difficult to describe. One word is not enough to convey its power, and the way people use it is not appropriate.
Thus, the correct answer is A.
The origins of Western astronomy can be found in Mesopotamia, the "land between the rivers" Tigris and Euphrates, where the ancient kingdoms of Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia were located. A form of writing known as cuneiform emerged among the Sumerians around 3500–3000 BC.

Explanation:
"Loud" is impossible because it states at the start of the passage, "...everybody had gathered around and quieted down..."
"Chaotic" isn't right, either, because it wasn't loud with a bunch of scuffling or partying. Everyone had collected themselves.
"Calm" might work, but seeing as we don't know what's going to happen yet, not really. They might've taken John hostage or they were throwing a surprise party for him.
The best adjective is "tense", seeing as there's suspense in the air.
Hope this helps! :D
