We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.
For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.
For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.
For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.
For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.
Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.
<span>A.) He approached the temple. As he went forward the light retired, and, when he put his feet within the apartment, utterly vanished. The suddenness of this transition increased the darkness that succeeded in a tenfold degree. Fear and wonder rendered him powerless. An occurrence like this, in a place assigned to devotion, was adapted to intimidate the stoutest heart.

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.
I can answer this question if you tell me what Eva you mean?
Two ideas that people once thought imposible even if they didnt violate laws of physics were-
- Idea of human flying
- Idea of breaking the sonic barrier
Explanation:
Neil Tyson says that the idea of flying and breaking of the sonic barrier was earlier considered impossible, even if they did not specifically violate any laws of Physics.
The idea of flying had grown as an envy component in humans on seeing birds fly. Kelvin in his essay had argued for a machine that could fly and was heavier than air.
Similarly, the idea of breaking the Sonic boom was earlier considered to be impossible, but no physics law prevented it from happening. E.g. The bullets fired from the guns were travelling at a rate faster than the speed of the sound. However, after the Bell aircraft broke the sonic barrier, it was widely believed that the barrier can be broken.
