Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.
Answer and Explanation:
The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.

I had to look for the missing passage and the options and here is the answer:"Here is New York" is a book that was written by E. B. White and Roger Angell. And based on the passage taken from this book, the effect that the symbol has on the meaning on this passage is this: The commuter is the queerest bird of all. The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own and is a mere roost where he comes at day’s end to go to sleep. (This answer is based on the actual options attached to this question).
Answer:
I think it would be "Skunks’ spray is a powerful defense that is difficult to avoid, but skunks do warn before spraying."
Explanation:
Because the other sentences are either talking about the things that get mentioned in the paragraph or only a part of the paragraph. But, the "Skunks' spray is a powerful defense that is difficult to avoid, but skunks do warn before spraying", sums up the whole paragraph. :)
I think F is the colorectal way to write the sentence. Hope this helps!
