Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the first question, the original "came over" is the most concise and natural - sounding option. Option B is too wordy, option C is less clear, and option D is also not as direct.
  2. For the second question, "slithering through barren sand" uses vivid and descriptive language. "Slithering" is a very characteristic verb for snakes, and "barren sand" creates a vivid desert - like image. The other options are less vivid.

Answer:

  1. A. NO CHANGE
  2. B. slithering through barren sand
