Answer: D. most loudly
Explanation: Option D is the only one using the superlative form of the adverb loudly, which we need in order to refer to only one of the siblings. All the other options are comparative (and option c is a mistake, since more and the suffix -er are redundant).
Part 1
Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
"I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, "Am I my brother’s keeper?" By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

b.)Functional text is found in schools but not in businesses.
c.)A common feature of functional text is the use of diagrams, charts, and illustrations.
d.)Many people read functional text, but few people write it.
The correct option is c.
Functional texts are those that are intended to help the reader to complete a task. They are called functional since they help to execute a function satisfactorily. Functional texts are very common in our day to day. This type of text not only serves to give instructions, but also offers indications, advice and recommendations that facilitate the performance of a person.
Depending on the size of the functional text and the characteristics of the instructions, the following are used: subtitles, numerations,different graphic resources such as illustrations, colors, paintings, drawings, arrows, ovals, pictures, colors, among others.
compare and contrast
problem and solution
list
cause and effect
The correct answer is B. Problem and solution
Explanation:
The term organizational structure refers to the way information in a text is organized that varies according to the topic and purpose of the author with the text. Most common organizational structures include chronological organization in which information is organized according to time; cause and effect in which the multiple effects or consequences of a situation are explained; compare and contrast in which the author describes the differences and similarities between two or more elements and problem and solution structure in which the author presents a problematic situation and multiple solutions to solve it. Considering this, in the case of the text presented the organizational structure is "problem and solution" considering the author first introduces a problematic situation which in this case is the overcrowding at schools and then proposes different solutions to it such as using a nearby middle school or using portables, which shows the purpose of the author is to explore possible solutions to solve a problematic situation.
