Read the excerpt from The Building of Manhattan. The guy wires are fastened to the SPIDER at the top of the mast. This allows the derrick to swivel about without disturbing the wires. Which question can be answered only if an illustration accompanies the text? What is fastened to the spider? What is left undisturbed in this process? What does the spider look like? How does the derrick move?

Answer:

C.) What does the spider look like?

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use the process of elimination, we know that the guy wires are fastened to the spider, the wires are left undisturbed, and that the derrick swivels. The only thing left unanswered is what the spider looks like.
