Explanation:

Question 1: Which sentence should be moved because it disrupts the overall sequence of actions?

The question is about identifying a sentence that disrupts the sequence of actions. The other options (A, D) describe actions related to nest - building or the result of actions (Henry retreating), and option C describes the dove's reaction (watching stoically) which is an action - related description. Option B is a statement about Wilma's knowledge (that a well - built nest would yield good results) rather than an action. So it disrupts the sequence of actions.

In Standard English, when we have a list or a series of items, we use commas appropriately. The correct form should have commas after "prey" and "rather" as they are part of a phrase that needs to be punctuated correctly. All the options A - D seem to have the same punctuation here (maybe a typo in the options), but assuming the correct one is about the comma usage, and typically in such cases, the correct option would be one where the commas are used to separate the elements properly. If we assume the options are about the comma after "rather", in Standard English, we would use a comma after "rather" if it's part of a non - restrictive phrase. So the correct option would be one with "prey, rather," (assuming the options are differentiated by the last comma, and the correct one has a comma after "rather" as it's a parenthetical or a phrase that needs separation).

The context is that the lead actor dropped out, so Paula's enthusiasm should decrease. Words like "diminish", "fade", "wane" would fit. Let's assume the options (not fully given) would have a word that means to decrease. For example, if the options included "diminish", that would be correct. Since the lead actor dropping out is a negative event for Paula's enthusiasm, the word should convey a decrease in enthusiasm.

Answer:

B. Wilma knew that a well - built nest would yield the best results for young hatchlings.
