This the story read plz and that’s the question I need to answer help plz:((( : Humans have been using electricity to power lights for more than 100 years. And today there is more bright light—from buildings, cars, street lamps, and billboards—than ever. This light travels in all directions, reflecting off particles in the atmosphere and brightening unintended areas. Big cities produce so much light that the stars can be nearly impossible to see. This excessive use of artificial light is what’s known as light pollution. The coast near the Witless Bay puffin colony is dotted with several small towns. On cloudy or foggy nights when the moon and stars are obscured, the light pollution from these towns disorients pufflings.

“It’s their first time outside of the burrow,” explains Wilhelm, “so they easily get confused.”

Some birds fly into the towns and get stranded—on roads, in parking lots, in people’s backyards—where they are in danger of being killed by cars or cats.

This is when the Puffin Patrol comes to the rescue. Throughout August, Puffin Patrol volunteers scour the towns for lost pufflings. After capturing the birds, they bring them to scientists, who evaluate the birds’ health. Eventually, the pufflings are released at sea. Since 2010, the Puffin Patrol has rescued more than 4,000 birds.

Historical fiction is concerned with depicting historical figures and events in a new light. in this excerpt from arthur conan doyle's "the contest," which two sentences most clearly describe historical elements? policles sprang readily to his feet at the challenge, and the great company making way for him to pass, he found himself a minute later standing in his unkempt garb, with his frayed and weather-beaten harp in his hand, before the expectant crowd. he stood for a moment tightening a string here and slackening another there until his chords rang true. then, amid a murmur of laughter and jeers from the roman benches immediately before him, he began to sing. he had prepared no composition, but he had trained himself to improvise, singing out of his heart for the joy of the music. he told of the land of elis, beloved of jupiter, in which they were gathered that day, of the great bare mountain slopes, of the swift shadows of the clouds, of the winding blue river, of the keen air of the uplands, of the chill of the evenings, and the beauties of earth and sky. it was all simple and childlike, but it went to the hearts of the olympians, for it spoke of the land which they knew and loved. yet when he at last dropped his hand, few of them dared to applaud, and their feeble voices were drowned by a storm of hisses and groans from his opponents. he shrank back in horror from so unusual a reception, and in an instant his blue-clad rival was in his place. if he had sung badly before, his performance now was inconceivable. his screams, his grunts, his discords, and harsh jarring cacophonies were an outrage to the very name of music.

In marigolds, based on the last three paragraphs of the excerpt, which statement would the narrator most likely agree with?
