Answer:
B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.
Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."
So, this explains the answer.

Answer:
jumble the words together in the description
convey the main character’s chaotic mental state
Explanation:
This is a way that the writer shows us a complex connection of the many, many pieces around that make a living, complicated whole that we are not supposed to understand, but perceive as confusing and beyond our grasp. This is also a way to show the mind of the character: <em>"[...]and a thousand parts too small or two complex or too divorced from their origin or context or too specialized and thus identifiable only by their creator"</em>
One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'
It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.
That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.
Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.
This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.
If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....
My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.
Like this;
My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.
Hope this helped!
Last or first one try last
