C. "I heard a harsh scream and saw a thing like a
huge white butterfly go slanting and fluttering up
into the sky" (Paragraph 6)
D. "I cannot convey the sense of abominable

(Paragraph 8)

Answer 1

The detail from the text that best summarizes the narrator's opinion about the future is:

A. "when I brought myself to look at the dials again, I was amazed to see my progress." (Paragraph 1)

This detail suggests the narrator's amazement and possibly some optimism about the progress they are making, which implies a more positive view of the future. The other options describe the state of the world or nature in a more negative or desolate way, which does not reflect the narrator's opinion about the future.
