Question

question 24.
as it is used in line 85, the word glowing most nearly means:
a. lighted
b. positive
c. incandescent
d. radiant

question 25.
according to the passage, like some of his paintings, picassos sculptures may:
a. attract recognition even if not immediately hailed for their achievements.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we analyze the meaning of "glowing" in the context (assuming it's used to describe a positive or complimentary tone, as "glowing" in the sense of praise is common).

• Option A: "lighted" refers to being illuminated, which doesn't fit the context of a word's meaning in a non - literal (praise - related) sense.
• Option B: "positive" is a good match. When someone gives a "glowing" review or description, it means they are being positive and complimentary.
• Option C: "incandescent" means emitting light as a result of being heated, which is a very literal and narrow meaning related to light emission, not suitable for the context of the word's usage here.
• Option D: "radiant" usually refers to emitting light or having a bright, shining appearance (often physical), and is not the best fit for the meaning of "glowing" in a context like a review or description.

Answer:

B. positive
