Read the following passage and answer the question that follows: preface to buddhism and buddhists in china a missionary no less than a professional student of buddhism needs to approach that religion with a real appreciation of what it aims to do for its people and does do. no one can come into contact with the best that buddhism offers without being impressed by its serenity, assurance and power. professor hodous has written this volume on buddhism in china out of the ripe experience and continuing studies of sixteen years of missionary service in foochow, the chief city of fu province, china, one of the important centers of buddhism. his local studies were supplemented by the results of broader research and study in northern china. no other available writer on the subject has gone so far as he in reproducing the actual thinking of a trained buddhist mind in regard to the fundamentals of religion. at the same time he has taken pains to exhibit and to interpret the religious life of the peasant as affected by buddhism. he has sought to be absolutely fair to buddhism, but still to express his own conviction that the best that is in buddhism is given far more adequate expression in christianity. the purpose of each volume in this series is impressionistic rather than definitely educational. they are not textbooks for the formal study of buddhism, but introductions to its study. they aim to kindle interest and to direct the activity of the awakened student along sound lines. for further study each volume amply provides through directions and literature in the appendices. it seeks to the student to discriminate, to think in terms of a devotee of buddhism when he compares that religion with christianity. it assumes, however, that christianity is the broader and deeper revelation of god and the world of today. buddhism in china undoubtedly includes among its adherents many high-minded, devout, and earnest souls who live an idealistic life. christianity ought to make a strong appeal to such minds, taking from them none of the joy or assurance or devotion which they possess, but promoting a deeper, better balanced interpretation of the active world, a nobler conception of god, a stronger sense of sinfulness and need, and a truer idea of the full meaning of incarnation and revelation. read this line from the text: his local studies were supplemented by the results of broader research and study in northern china in this sentence, supplemented means (5 points) enhanced fixated reduced possessed

Fifteen-year-old kwan sat on a large boulder on the rocky shore and watched her seven-year-old brother, min, race along the beach close to the water’s edge. the handmade kite, streaming high in the air behind him, created a striking image against the vivid blue sky. occasionally, min called out, “kwan, look at me! i’m flying! i’m flying! ” she beamed and waved at him, urging him on in his glee. she recalled the day her parents first brought home the little bundle from the hospital, the first boy in the family, making her the happiest big sister ever. the family had had a new baby to care for and cherish, and she had a precious little brother to shower with love and attention. min brought joy and delight to the whole household, and his presence completed the family.kwan smiled again as she watched him run along, and she felt great contentment at the pleasure he took in flying the kite they had made together. ever since father had taken min to the korean kite festival, he had begged for a kite of his own. the multicolored dragons, birds, and box kites with their colorful tails and plumes appeared to enchant min as he watched them soar and race in the clear blue sky. he stood mesmerized by the panoply of colors. “someday, i will race a kite in the festival! ” min stated with determination. when min made up his mind that a kite would be the perfect summer project for him and kwan, she was surprised. “i don’t want a kite-making kit,” he informed their father. “i want to build it myself—with kwan’s .” kwan initially wondered why min included her in his quest for a kite, but she quickly realized that her clever brother had correctly surmised that their father would more likely approve the request if min’s big sister were there to him. how could kwan refuse? kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.”how does the author best develop the theme that with determination, one can achieve a goal? a-the author uses an extended metaphor to show how min successfully builds a kite that flies like a colorful bird. b-the author uses a metaphor to compare kwan to a mother bird, protecting her young one from the thunderstorm.c-the author uses imagery to show how the kite mimics a predatory bird under min's careful direction. d-the author uses personification to show how min's kite swoops and dives in the air to avoid the rocks below it.
