Question

Read the passage from "All Gold Canyon”.

The motion of all things was a drifting in the heart of the canyon. Sunshine and butterflies drifted in and out among the trees. The hum of the bees and the whisper of the stream were a drifting of sound. And the drifting sound and drifting color seemed to weave together in the making of a delicate and intangible fabric which was the spirit of the place. It was a spirit of peace that was not of death, but of smooth-pulsing life, of quietude that was not silence, of movement that was not action, of repose that was quick with existence without being violent with struggle and travail.
What does "the heart of the canyon" described in this passage represent?

- the quietest place to clearty hear your heartbeat
- the best place in the world to see rare wildlife
- the center of all life in that area
- the place with the most soothing nature sounds

Answer 1

- the center of all life in that area

(third option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

the description of this location goes beyond "soothing nature sounds"--it describes the movement, color, and life flow of the canyon. It mainly focuses on motion, not the "quietest place", and it does not mention "rare wildlife" at all.
