The answer for the first question is C,

and the answer to the second is B.

The answers are indeed C and B, respectively.

Explanation:

In the first excerpt we are analyzing, the writer's voice focuses mainly on sensory details, appealing to the reader's senses through the senses of the characters. We may assume the sentence that would conclude this excerpt would keep the same tone and purpose. In that case, the best option would be letter C. Rows of pastries glistened with fresh frosting, and the smell of dough wafted through the air.

In the second excerpt, we find a description of a surprise party. It's as if the author had decided not to say "It was a surprise party" but, instead, describe the appearance of the home so that the reader can grasp that for him/herself.

Thus, the best answer would be letter B. the festive appearance of the home.
