Read this excerpt from the early history of the airplane by wilbur wright. i refer to the soaring flight, by which the machine is permanently sustained in the air by the same means that are employed by soaring birds. they spread their wings to the wind, and sail by the hour, with no perceptible exertion beyond that required to balance and steer themselves. what mood does wilbur wright suggest in the passage? a. hopeful b. heavy-hearted c. amused d. peaceful

4. Peaceful, I also had this same question and I sure you this is the answer

Explanation:

I would say 4. peaceful, because he is talking about how birds fly with "no perceptible exertion beyond that required to balnce and steer themselfs" and it not complaining about how humans can't do that

this could be wrong this could be right, but this is the best choice in my opinion, I know this is late but for the people who need it, here it is. :)

bevy means a large group or thing of a certain kind.
