Answer 1

I don’t have the passage or paragraph 9 here. Could you paste paragraph 9 (or the whole passage)? Then I’ll pick the best answer and explain why.

If you can’t paste it, here’s how to decide:
- If the paragraph describes increasing wind, higher waves, darkening sky, or growing fear, choose D (storm getting worse).
- If it describes them finding calm water, rowing to shore, or escaping the storm, choose C (shows how they get away).
- If it shows them deciding to continue fishing despite conditions, choose A.
- If it reassures that the boat is safe or that nothing threatens them, choose B.
