Answer:
Option B. An example that Alan Weisman gives to show that nature has little concern for things that humans find important is <u>paintings in museums.</u>
Explanation:
American journalist Alan Weisman wrote a non-fiction book called "The World Without Us" in which he theorizes about what would happen to our planet and everything we have created and built, if humanity suddenly disappeared. Written as a thought experiment, the author explains that if humans disappeared, nature would restore itself everywhere, and by doing so, it would little by little destroy everything that humans considered vital and important, like paintings in museums. Valuable pieces of art that we, as humans, take great care of, would be destroy and ruined by the force of nature.

But in the radio version the tense used was present to be more realistic and persuade the audience that the action was happening on that same time.

In the passage, the setting is described as noon on a sunny day in August. From this description we can infer that it is hot out. When Myra says, "This sun is cooking me," we can infer that she is in the hot sun and can feel the heat as though she is being cooked. She does not indicate that she is in pain or that she is unhappy. It simply means that she is hot.
