To accurately answer your question, I would need to analyze the specific passage from "Extinct Thinking: Was the Hapless Dodo Really Destined to Die Out?" by Hanneke Meijer. However, since I do not have access to external content or specific excerpts of the text, I cannot provide a definitive answer based on your options.
If you could provide the specific passage or key elements from it, I would be happy to help you analyze the syntax choices made in that text! Alternatively, you can evaluate each option based on your understanding of the passage to determine which syntax choice the writer employed.
