Read this passage from "the city without us" by alan weisman: in new york, the european starling—now a ubiquitous avian pest from alaska to mexico—was introduced because someone thought the city would be more cultured if central park were home to each bird mentioned in shakespeare. next came a central park garden with every plant in the bard's plays, sown with the lyrical likes of primrose, wormwood, lark's heel, eglantine, and cowslip—everything short of  macbeth's  birnam wood. what does weisman's word choice  most  clearly suggest about his feelings on the introduction of new species of birds and plants to central park?   a. he describes central park as "lyrical" and "cultured" to boast about new york's being a center of culture.  b. he credits shakespeare for inspiring the introduction of the new species to show his disdain for them.  c. he uses the word "ubiquitous" to show that the starling has become well known in the united states.  d. he uses the words "pest" and "everything short of" to ridicule the introduction of the new species.
