Explanation:

Question 2

When comparing flying acrobats to birds, birds' flight is natural and skillful (they fly with ease and expertise). So the comparison suggests the acrobats' acrobatics were skillful and natural. Option A is about romance, not related to bird - like acrobatics. Option B is about surprising the audience, which birds don't do. Option C is about looking small and fragile, but birds in flight are more about skill than fragility. So D is correct.

The prefix “un - ” in words like “unnoticed” (not noticed) and “unseen” (not seen) means “not”. “Bad” would be a different prefix (like “mal - ”), “never” is more about “ne - ” or “never - ”, and “again” is “re - ”. So the meaning of “un - ” is “not”.

The phrase “one form of flight for another” likely relates to a metaphorical flight (like imagination from reading) replacing a physical flight. Option A says the ability to read allows imagination to soar, which fits the idea of one form of flight (physical, maybe) being replaced by imaginative flight from reading. Option B is about mother exchanging excitement for safety, not related to flight forms. Option C is about father's understanding, not flight. Option D is about contentment and love, not flight. So A is correct.

Answer:

D. Their acrobatics were skillful and natural.
