Answer 2

The main purpose of the passage is to vividly illustrate the variety of bird life in the Limberlost region.

• "C) vividly illustrate the variety of bird life in the Limberlost region" is the correct option.

• The passage illustrates flashing through the tree-tops of the Limberlost where there are birds whose colour is extra brilliant than that of the gaudiest flower heaving its face to brightness and air. The lilies of the muck are not so white as the white herons that fish among them. The ripest spray of goldenrod is not so much coloured as the burnished gold on the breast of the oriole that swirls on it. The jays are bluer than the calamus floor they wrangle above with throaty hearsay. The finches are an excellent purple than the ironwort. For each clump of foxfire flaming in the Limberlost, there is a cardinal that glows redder on a bush above it. These may not be more varied than other birds, but their gorgeous colouring and courageous tendency make them seem so.
