Question

There–for with your leave, my sister, I will put some trust in preceding navigators—there snow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land surpassing in wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe. Its productions and features may be without example, as the phenomena of the heavenly bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes.

The author describes all of the following EXCEPT

(A) His sister’s navigation skills
(B) The land’s solitude
(C) The land’s beauty
(D) The land uniqueness

Answer 1

The author describes a land of beauty and unique features surpassing others in wonders, but does not mention his sister's navigation skills. The correct answer is option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The author describes all of the following except (A) His sister’s navigation skills. The passage does not provide any indication of the sister's navigation abilities. Instead, it describes a land of beauty and uniqueness, surpassing all others in wonders. It also mentions a possibility of traits without example and muses about the phenomena in undiscovered places (solitude). Thus, options B, C, and D are mentioned but option A is not described in the text.
