After reading the passage about Ogilvy, I realized how curios he was that he wanted to see the thing clearly.
From the choices given (if this question has the same choices with the ones posted here before), the answer would be: <span>Ogilvy’s curiosity tends to overcome his better judgment.</span>
The right answer here is <u>D. the rocks that make the wall.</u>
In "And some are loaves and some so nearly balls", "some" refers to the boulders or the rocks that make the wall between them.
He wants to point out that this wall is made of things the shape of which is not really logical (walls are usually made of bricks which perfectly fit one onto the other), such as loaves and balls the same way people build walls in real life based on reasons that are not really logical either, but the wall is somehow kept balanced and standing.
Answer:
If Passage 1 is adapted from "Ancient DNA Tells Story of Giant Eagle
Evolution," © 2005 by Public Library of Science, then the answer would be as follows:
It can reasonably be inferred from Passage 1 that, for most bird species, there is a certain size at which they
a. are unable to fly.
Explanation:
According to Passage 1, "When the dodo's ancestor (thought to be a migratory pigeon) settled on this island with abundant food, no competition from terrestrial mammals, and no predators, it could survive without flying, and thus was freed from the energetic and size constraints of flight.
"
"Size constraints of flight" means that the birds that are big to a certain size cannot/could not fly. Taking examples of some birds once roaming New Zealand into consideration, they were giant birds with large wingspans, and therefore, they were unable to fly (flightless).
Other options, namely b. require less energy when flying; c. are more likely to attack other animals; and d. do have a to compete with other birds for food, are nowhere found in Passage 1. In other words, No related information is available.
Therefore, the most possible answer is a.
