Ishow you the question and the paragraph so tell me the answer and tell me why is it thosei will give you 25 points

I believe it is D because like in the quotation there was uncertainty of what would happen

Because the sentence is talking about how we didn't know radium would help humans survive stuffs like cancer, D is the right answer. D talks about how radium wasn't originally discovered as something that would prove useful in hospitals - they had no idea they'd use it to help cure people.

B) Battered but unruffled.

Explanation: In the given passage from "The Odyssey" we can see the description of Odysseus when he dress himself as a beggar to be able to investigate how things have changed in his life, since he left it, years before. The two similes present in the passage are: "In rags like a foul beggar" and "Patient as a stone", the first one present the image of Odysseus being battered and the second one demonstrates that he is also unruffled.
