Is graffiti art? Thanks to the works of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and other renowned street artists, many
people believe that it is. Indeed, pieces by the most famous street artists can be found in museums and
auction houses around the world. However, others maintain that even the most masterful street art is
no more than an illegal, destructive act. Detractors certainly have a point: street art is illegal. When
someone paints where she does not have permission to paint, she is breaking the law-it does not
matter if she has scrawled profanity or recreated the Mona Lisa. Illegal street art is certainly a problem
in many cities, but eliminating it completely would deprive people of some of the most brilliant,
thought-provoking art being made today. Perhaps the best solution is for cities to create special areas
where street artists can practice their art legally. Cities could designate certain bridges, tunnels, or
public buildings as legal areas for street artists to paint. Doing so would not only give street artists a
place to display their talents, it might also reduce the amount of illegal vandalism in other places.
Based on the way it is used in sentence 5, the word "detractors" most nearly means

Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form. the author writes that he "wrote a complete biography- of a tree." what message is implied about the tree with this statement?

A: the author couldn't think of any other subject for a biography.

B:the author didn't think a partial biography was enough.

C:the author didn't want to speak for the tree.

D:the author believed the tree had a life story, like a person ​
