B. False
Traditionally, expository writing is logical.
Answer:
Each new step in science reconciles twenty seemingly discordant facts as merely the various manifestations of a single principle.
Explanation:
Even though the only context we have is the sentence itself, we can safely choose number 2. This type of sentence is used when we wish to present contrasting ideas. There would be no reason, for example, for science to unify what is already harmonious, or to undermine what is already erroneous. Those ideas are redundant. It makes much more sense to say that science reconciles facts that are seemingly discordant. That is the wonder in science: to see different things as the manifestations of a single principle, which could seem, if science did not exist, impossible.
Answer: There are many ways to tap the power of imagination. (B)
Explanation: By saying “another way,” the author is implying that there are other ways to tap into the power of imagination. We automatically know it can’t be A because that choice says there is only one way to tap into imagination. It also cannot be C because the quote does not talk about “using place,” it talks about using imagination. Lastly, it cannot be D because the quote is not biased. Saying “another way” means there are other ways not necessarily better or worse than the next. That leaves us with B, which is the correct answer.

Plodding refers to the loud sound it would make when its feet hit the ground, and lumbering describes the awkward way limbs move when they're so big and heavy.</span>
