Passage Excerpt:
For over fifty years, Bernie Krause has traveled the globe recording the sounds of wild habitats. He coined the term *biophony* to describe the collective sound that vocalizing organisms produce in a given ecosystem. [1] In doing so, he has documented how habitat fragmentation disrupts these delicate natural symphonies.
The writer wants to insert a sentence at point [1] that emphasizes the arduous physical effort and remote isolation Krause experienced during his recording expeditions. Which choice best fulfills this goal?
- He has spent months alone in remote regions, hauling sixty pounds of recording gear through swamps and across glaciers.Cevap
- BHis recordings, which utilize state-of-the-art microphones and digital storage devices, capture audio frequencies that are often imperceptible to the human ear.
- CBefore dedicating himself to ecology, he worked as a professional musician, composing soundtracks for major motion pictures and collaborating with popular bands.
- DHe hauled sixty pounds of recording gear through swamps and glaciers, he worked alone in remote regions for months at a time.
Cevap
The correct answer is the option stating that Krause spent months alone in remote regions carrying heavy gear, as it directly emphasizes his isolation and physical struggle.
The correct answer describes both Krause's isolation ('spent months alone in remote regions') and his intense physical labor ('hauling sixty pounds of recording gear through swamps and across glaciers'). It is also grammatically correct, successfully fulfilling the writer's rhetorical goals.
