I need help please. This is passage and question: As used in the passage the words “arid velt” means:

A. An opening at the bottom of the river
B. A swampy basin
C. A densely wooded bank
D. A dry open piece of land

steps:

1. do 28-12= 16 girls

2. your ratio is 12: 16

3. your answer is b. 3/4

4. this correct because

12 divided by 4 is 3

16 divided by 4 is 4

5. your answer is 3/4

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people

you stated "which of the following" but i don't see anything else
