They have plenty of ambergris, because whales abound in these seas, and also cachalots. and since they catch great numbers of both, they are never short of ambergris; for you know it is the whale that produces ambergris. they have leopards and lynxes and lions also in great numbers. other beasts, such as harts, stags, and roebuck and such-like game animals, are also abundant, besides game-birds of many kinds. there are also many ostriches of huge size. the great diversity of birds, quite different from ours, is truly marvelous. which quotation from the excerpt best reflects the author’s subjective perspective about the fauna of madagascar? “they have plenty of ambergris, because whales abound in these seas, and also cachalots.” “they have leopards and lynxes and lions also in great numbers.” “other beasts, such as harts, stags, and roebuck and such-like game animals, are also abundant, besides game-birds of many kinds.” “the great diversity of birds, quite different from ours, is truly marvelous.”

The correct answer is D.

The author talks about the great diversity of birds that can be found Madagascar's fauna and thinks this is "triuly marvelous".

By saying this, the author is giving his personal opinion and thoughs, making the statement subjective, rather than objective.

the answer is c, because they are being narrated.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
