dear way too clean,
write an apology, use nice handwriting,
the letter writer says the piece of crumpled paper was prized art. what does that mean?
a the art had no value.
b the art was highly valued.
c the art was ugly.

Explanation:

The word "prized" means highly valued or cherished. In the context of the letter, it is stated that the crumpled - up piece of paper was made by a famous artist, cost thousands of dollars, and was the neighbor's greatest possession. These details imply that the art had a high value. Option A ("The art had no value") is incorrect as the text gives evidence of its value. Option C ("The art was ugly") is not supported by the text which focuses on its value rather than its aesthetic appearance.

Answer:

B. The art was highly valued.
