symbols are often used in writing to generate an effect on the reader. usually, they are used to paint in easy terms a difficult or abstract idea. one such abstract concept that has always entranced writers is that of time and its passage, simply because time is insubstantial and yet it marks the lives of every living thing. many writers have used several symbols to paint time, but the most common is the painting of time´s passage. one such symbol, most commonly used, is the sand clock, used in ancient times as a way to mark passage of time and often portrayed in writings of different types and genres. option b is the correct one because it not only symbolizes precisely the sand clock, which was a means to measure time, but it symbolizes the passage of it because the sand trickled between his fingers, meaning that time was running away from this person.

the answer is

r ≈5.641

plug in the area of 100 yards into the equation

100=

divide each side by pi

≈ 31.8309=

take the square root of each side to find r

=r

r ≈5.641

the answer is c the speaker emotions
