Passage Excerpt:
In 1885, Wilson Bentley, a farmer from Vermont, became the first person to photograph a single snowflake. Bentley accomplished this by attaching a microscope to his bellows camera. [X] Over his lifetime, he captured more than five thousand images of snowflakes, proving that no two are identical.
At this point in the passage, the writer wants to add a sentence that emphasizes the painstaking care and physical discomfort Bentley endured to capture his images. Which choice best accomplishes this goal?
- He stood for hours in unheated woodsheds during Vermont's freezing winters, carefully transferring each fragile crystal with a feather so it would not melt.Cevap
- BHis photographs were eventually published in scientific journals and purchased by several major universities.
- CHe believed that capturing the beauty of nature was his true calling, despite the lack of initial financial reward.
- DBentley's neighbors initially mocked his hobby as a waste of time, he persisted anyway because of his passion for nature.
Cevap
He stood for hours in unheated woodsheds during Vermont's freezing winters, carefully transferring each fragile crystal with a feather so it would not melt.
The correct option directly addresses both aspects of the writer's goal. It highlights physical discomfort by describing Bentley standing for hours in unheated woodsheds during freezing winters, and it illustrates painstaking care by noting how he carefully transferred each fragile crystal using a feather to prevent melting.
