Answer:
It signals that the sentence will explain what Tamanika did despite the rain.
Explanation:
"Although" is a subordinating conjunction that usually denotes the existence of an obstacle or some unfavorable conditions. However, despite them, the intented plan or an action has been performed.
Here, we see that Tamanika went for a walk despite the rain outside.
That means that this conjunction denotes an opposition between existing conditions and the outcome of the action. Conditions don't always need to be unfavorable, they only need to be opposite of the result. For example: "Although he had a clear shot, he missed the entire goal."
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.
