Read the excerpt from the foreword of a book by Harvey Johnson.

When I was asked to introduce Harvey Johnson’s book about the history of Caldwell, Colorado, I was honored. Caldwell is an enchanting town nestled high on a ridge that overlooks the Rock River. The river curves through the heart of Deer Valley and supports the wildlife and plant life that thrive there.

How do the foreword and the definition pattern help the reader?

They describe the attributes of Caldwell, Colorado.
They explain why Caldwell, Colorado, is important to the author.
They inform the reader that the book is about a rural town in Colorado.
They provide the reader with details about the history of Caldwell, Colorado.

A. They describe the attributes of Caldwell, Colorado.

Explanation:

Now, first thing to distinguish here is that we need to analyze only this excerpt and its content.

We see that the book itself is about history of Caldwell, however the excerpt doesn't deal with that.

It only shows the town's location, river passing by and rich plant and wildlife.

From that, it can be inferred that Caldwell is a town with beautifull surrounding and natural attributes.
