Answer 2

d) The turtle is a beautiful part of nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary Oliver's poem "The Turtle" emphasizes the beauty of nature that can be seen in each and every being, be it the hills, the animals, trees etc. Here, she talks of the skin of the turtle that appears "luminous" which seems to us, a very beautiful thing. The description of the skin as being 'luminous' shows how beautiful it may have been, luminous normally refer to something that is shiny, glossy, beautiful, something tat gives us a positive vibe. It does not give the appearance of strangeness. Thus, the correct answer to the use of the word "luminous" would be The turtle is a beautiful part of nature.
