Answer:
A "The spring of 1998 was the Halley’s Comet of desert wildflower years." (lines 1–2)
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's scientific essey "Called Out". It describes events in the spring of 1998 and gives insight on magnificent and complex life cycle of desert plants.
The given sentence provides description of the highway medians suggesting that there were unusually many flowers, rarely seen before.
That provides evidence to answer A. which claims that that spring was the Halley's Comet of desert wildflower years. Halley's Comet is a rare phenomenon that happens only once every 76 years, so by making this comparison, the author claims that what happened that spring was a true botanical rarity.
Distorted logic shows that people in Ireland in Swift's time would act illogically in order to find solutions to their daily problems. The author criticizes the projects that have been taken to fix the poor's problems. Swift writes about the ills of his period in a satirical way. Working through the answers, we find this satire in the last option. A also contains satire, however in part D, Swift applies distorted logic that his opinion cannot be debated. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
