Answer 1

C: To tell or give an account.

Answer 2

Answer: C: To tell or give an account

Explanation: To describe means to tell or give an account of something. It involves providing details, characteristics, or information about a person, event, or in this case an animal, the parrot.

Here, Duncan took his time to provide a detailed, verbal account or explanation of the characteristics of his lost parrot and the last place he had seen her. If "de" means opposite and "scribe" means to write, C is correct because he spoke his account versus physically writing it down.
