very small
Being close to the earth can be milseading. I think that if the sun were at the same distance as anohter star, it might be hard to see because it is small, relatiavely speaking
Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh
Explanation:
““Very reluctant” appropriately modifies the subject of the Equal clause Charles Lindbergh.
Nevertheless, Charles Lindberg addresses the sentence in the question. And claim that, "It was... the justification and be reluctant" renders Lindberg's hesitation rather than Lindberg himself immune to the judgment.
In comparison to sounding wordy, this structure deliberately undermines the essence of the expression by moving the emphasis to a tangential topic.
Indeed, the sun is the brightest star.
Hope this helped! :)
