Answer:

B) a brief, incomplete view or look is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a definition provided by Cambridge Dictionary, glimpse means to "see something or someone for a very short time or only part"; since letters C and D have words with the opposite feeling (such as "absorbing" and "extended"), they are incorrect. In letter A, we can find the word gaze, which means to look something steadily, discarding this option too. Letter B is correct because it fits with the definition as "brief" or "incomplete" are used to synthesize the idea provided by Cambridge Dictionary.
