1. part b: which quote from paragraph 13 best supports

the answer to part a?

a. \but he must have known the reason for those
changes, for he was quite careful that no one should
notice them\

b. \elisenda let out a sigh of relief, for herself and for
him, when she watched him pass over the last houses,
holding himself up in some way with the risky flapping
of a senile vulture.\

c. \then she went to the window and caught the
angel in his first attempts at flight. they were so clumsy
that his fingernails opened a furrow in the vegetable
patch and he was on the point of knocking the shed
down with the ungainly flapping that slipped on the

Explanation:

To answer this, we need the answer to Part A (not provided here). However, typically, for such questions, we analyze each option:

• Option A talks about someone being careful no one notices changes, which might relate to a Part A answer about secrecy or hidden actions.
• Option B describes Elisenda's relief and the angel's flight like a senile vulture, focusing on relief and flight mechanics.
• Option C details the angel's clumsy first flight attempts.

Assuming Part A was about the angel's flight or a related action, but since Part A is missing, if we assume a common Part A (e.g., about the angel's difficult flight), Option C describes his clumsy attempts, Option B his successful (or final) flight with relief, and Option A about hidden changes. Without Part A, but if Part A was about the angel's flight attempts, Option C would support it. But since this is a common question (from "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings"), if Part A was about the angel's flight or his condition, Option B shows Elisenda's relief as he leaves (supporting a Part A about the angel's departure), Option C his clumsy attempts, Option A about hidden changes.

But since the user hasn't provided Part A, we can't definitively answer. However, if we assume a typical Part A (e.g., about the angel's flight or his leaving), but this is incomplete.

Answer:

(Needs Part A to determine. If assuming a common context, but without Part A, can't provide a definitive option. Please provide Part A's answer to solve this.)
