Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

And why.

Answer 3

Well, to begin, we can eliminate option D. This is because in the text given, nothing is being quoted. Nothing in this is in quotation marks. Continuing, I'd say we could also eliminate option B. This is because in the sentences we are given, something is being described to us. We aren't really being given examples of anything. Now from options A and C, which are you leaning towards and why?
