Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:

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 ​

Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or to maintain a restful
sleep throughout the night. People who suffer from insomnia-
also called insomniacs—often experience decreased energy,
mood swings, and difficulty performing well in school and work
activities. This sleep disorder can last for days, weeks, or years.
People who suffer from this disorder can experience early
insomnia (difficulty falling asleep), middle insomnia (waking up in
the middle of the night), or late insomnia (waking up earlier than
desired)
There is not one single cause for insomnia. Some insomniacs
experience sleep disturbances because of depression, anxiety, or
a mental illness. Other times, insomnia is caused by outside
influences such as a noisy sleeping environment, a lack of
exercise, or too much caffeine ingested during the day. Often a
doctor will investigate a patient's lifestyle and sleeping habits as a
first step in diagnosing the cause of his or her insomnia.
Insomnia can be treated in many different ways, and most
often, lifestyle changes are recommended by doctors. Some of
the most commonly suggested home remedies for insomnia are
sticking to a sleep schedule, avoiding naps during the day,
removing electronic devices and bright lights from the bedroom,
and drinking warm milk before attempting sleep. If insomnia
persists or begins to negatively impact the sufferer's life, medical
attention should be sought.
