Answer:
My name is Jay Ilych, I am a student and author.
I like to pride myself in being a man with focus, but there are some areas I would love to improve myself. Those areas are in the areas of lack of determination, procrastination and low self confidence.
I aim to improve in those areas by positively affirming to myself everyday that I can, I will, and I must because I am more than enough.
Instead of saying "I will do it later", I would do it immediately, no matter what.
Finally, I have joined a support group where I can boost both my self confidence and determination.

Answer:
In the first lines of the poem the speaker begins by creating several unusual and engaging phrases that state that things are “famous”. The first explains that the “river is famous to the fish”. This might take some analysis to figure out, but, it makes sense to consider the importance of the river in the life of a fish. It’s what they live in and very likely thinks about all the time. It’s the most important thing in their world.
The second “famous” line is different but not so much so that it isn’t related. This time, the speaker says that the “loud voice” is famous for the silence that it interrupts. After the first comparison, this one is easier. Without a “loud voice” the silence wouldn’t seem noteworthy. It needs to be interrupted to be noticed.
Nye uses personification and allusion in the next lines. She alludes to a line from the Bible, “the meek will inherit the earth” in order to cast “silence” in the same light. She is effectively saying that “silence” is meek, a human character trait given to something that’s not human. The silence knew, somehow, that it would inherit the earth long before it was written in the Bible.

Answer:
A "The spring of 1998 was the Halley’s Comet of desert wildflower years." (lines 1–2)
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's scientific essey "Called Out". It describes events in the spring of 1998 and gives insight on magnificent and complex life cycle of desert plants.
The given sentence provides description of the highway medians suggesting that there were unusually many flowers, rarely seen before.
That provides evidence to answer A. which claims that that spring was the Halley's Comet of desert wildflower years. Halley's Comet is a rare phenomenon that happens only once every 76 years, so by making this comparison, the author claims that what happened that spring was a true botanical rarity.
