Answer:
C. while and however
Explanation:
The options are :
A. and and similar.

Therefore, the correct answer is: C. while and however!
Read this excerpt from the Cherokee creation story "How the World Was Made": When all was water, the animals were above in Galûñ’lati, beyond the arch; but it was very crowded, and they wanted more room. They wondered what was below the water, and at last Beaver’s Grandchild, the little Water-beetle, offered to go and see if he could learn. He darted in every direction over the surface of the water, but could find no firm place to rest. Then he dived to the bottom and came up with some soft mud, which began to grow and spread on every side until it became the island that we call Earth. It was afterward fastened to the sky with four cords, but no one remembers who did this. At first Earth was flat and very soft and wet. The animals were anxious to get down, and set out different birds to see if it was yet dry, but they found no place to alight and came back again to Galûñ’lati. At last it seemed to be time, and they sent out the Buzzard and told him to go and make ready for them… When Earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go every day across the island from east to west, just overhead… This story contains elements of which two types of creation stories?

They were stunned when they finally saw each other. After a moment of awkward silence, he fell to one knee and held the ring out to her. Before Louis could say a word, Emily cried out, ‘Yes!

Answer:
Reasonable
Explanation:
A reasonable tone is most times applied in arguments when a person wants another person to view things from his own standpoint. Instead of shouting or being rude, you argue persuasively to make your points and convince the other person to accept your viewpoint. In the sentence above, the student likely was given a grade which he believes was not right. Instead of making a fuss about it, he pleads that he should be allowed to argue for a better grade.
This tone is reasonable because it appeals to logic and if a proper argument is eventually presented, he can convince the other about why he should have a better grade.

Literacy is thought of as the ability to read and write. Historically reading and writing involved tools such as pencils and paper. In 1974, Zurkowski used the term "information skills" to refer to skills for solving information problems by using relevant information sources and technology. In the 1980's, after computers became common, a new concept called "information literacy" emerged. In 1989 the Presidential Committee on Information Literacy published a report. This report stated, "To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."
Librarians are known for helping students find information in a library. Now much more information can be found on the internet than in any library. Librarians and other educators want students to be able to find appropriate information online. The concept of "information literacy" extends beyond just finding information on the Internet to the abilities to determine the appropriateness and validity of the information.
Locating information on the internet is often done with tools called search engines. Students can type any word into a search engine and a list of web pages on which that word occurs will be created. However, the information on all of these websites may not be the right kind of information. Students should learn how to determine if the information fits their needs. Once a student has located the right kind of information on the internet, they should then be able to effectively use the information.
