Question

Use the passage from "The Osage Indians Struck It Rich, Paid the Price" by Dwight Garner to answer the question:
"If you taught the artificial brains of
supercomputers at IBM Research to write
nonfiction prose, and if they got very good at it,
they might compose a book like David Grann’s
“Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders
and the Birth of the FBI.”
This is not entirely a complaint. Grann’s new book,
about how dozens of members of the Osage
Indian nation in Oklahoma in the 1920s were shot,
poisoned or blown to bits by rapacious whites
who coveted the oil under their land, is close to
impeccable. It’s confident, fluid in its dynamics,
light on its feet.
What it lacks is the soulful, trippy, questing and
offhandedly cerebral quality of his last and best-
known book, “The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly
Obsession in the Amazon” (2009). That volume is
deservedly regarded as one of the prize nonfiction
specimens of this century."

Which sentence from the passage best
summarizes the reviewer’s opinion of the
book’s style?

a. “That volume is deservedly regarded as
one of the prize nonfiction specimens
of this century.”

b.“It’s confident, fluid in its dynamics,
light on its feet.”

c. “This is not entirely a complaint.”

d. “If you taught the artificial brains of
supercomputers at IBM Research to
write nonfiction prose, and if they got
very good at it, they might compose a
book like David Grann’s ‘Killers of the
Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and
the Birth of the FBI.’”
