If we were to plug in the first option into the paragraph, it would sound like this...
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, however, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This cannot be the correct answer because the word however is used to contradict something that has been said previously. This sentence has no reason to be contradicted.
If we were to plug in the second option into the paragraph, it would sound something like this...
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, similarly, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This option is also incorrect because the word 'similarly' is used to indicate a similarity between two facts or events. But the two sentences are talking about he same thing so there is nothing to indicate similarity.
If we plug in the third option into the paragraph, it would sound something like this...
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, additionally, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This option can also not be the correct answer because no new factor is being introduced into the sentences.
If we plug in the first option into the paragraph, it will sound something like this...
<span>The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, in fact, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This is the correct answer because the sentence is using this word </span><span>to emphasize the statement they are trying to make.
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, in fact, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
D. In fact is the correct answer choice to this question.
The other choices are either comparing or adding onto the idea. However, In fact is creating a strong statement to support the first sentence. It is phrased a bit weird, but it works, it would have made more snese if the question was:
In fact, a visitor of the library will find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
Hope this somewhat helped you and other readers out there also seeking the answer to this befuddling question. :3
<span>The answer would be C. Boomerangs, when thrown, are made to circle back to the user who threw it. The pun is a play on their memory returning to them just as a boomerang would come back to them.</span>
It creates the feeling that New York is a living being.
Personification is giving nonhuman things human-like traits. In the sentence New York is described as having pockets and breathing. It's also described as having a morning and a night. These are all things a living being has. There are no noises besides breathing described, and this is not noisy. The conditions are also not described as being crowded. The tone is not predatory or negative so this also eliminates option B.
The simile that likens his shoulders to a full sail shows the force that must be exerted to plough the field. A "globed" sail would be rounded because of the powerful winds blowing against it. Just as the wind's, resistance is transformed into something useful by moving the boat forwards; his father's exertion transforms the land into fields that grow crops of food. While ploughing the land in this way would certainly require knowledge and skill, the simile does not refer to these qualities.
2. </span><span>D. "Mapping the furrow exactly"
</span>
Reference to the father's expertise is indicated by his "mapping the furrow" and doing so "exactly."
