O The information provides key details to support the facts of the article. O The information was mistakenly included and has no bearing on the aticle. OThe information shows that a remarkable event occurred on an ordinary day.​

Answer:

O The information shows that a remarkable event occurred on an ordinary day.​

Explanation:

The Washington Post article "Nixon Resigns" by Carroll Kilpatrick reports the events of President Richard Nixon's resignation after increasing pressure from the nation. This news article details the events coming up to the main day of the resignation.

While the whole article presents the events leading up to the resignation, the meetings before and during the resignation, Kilpatrick chooses to include the weather of the day of resignation. She wrote,

"Thursday was a wet, humid August day, but despite intermittent rain the crowds packed the sidewalks in front of the White House. It was an orderly crowd, resigned and curious, watching newsmen come and go and being a part of a dramatic moment in the life of the nation."

This inclusion of "a wet, humid August day" shows how normal the day was despite the significance of the event that was to unfold.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
