The sentence in the excerpt that includes the writer's personal opinion is 3. It was unfortunate that Paine called for action.
The other sentences are just plain facts, there are no opinions there, because they are objective. But sentence #3 clearly states what the author thinks about Paine's actions.
Massive, perhaps? That's the only one with 7 that I can think of.
Answer:
The verb "caterpillaring" suggests:
A. slowly moving
Explanation:
The word "caterpillar" is originally a noun used to refer to a type of worm-like insect. Caterpillars are small and their bodies do not allow them to move rapidly. With that in mind, we can infer that an author who uses "caterpillar" as a verb wishes to convey the idea that something is moving slowing, crawling, just like a caterpillar. In conclusion, we can choose letter A as the best option.
