Question

why was it strange to find coconut hair in the hole?
a no one on oak island ate coconuts. people thought coconuts made them sick.
b all coconut trees on oak island had been cut down. the trees were used to build boats.
c coconuts do not grow on oak island. they grow only in places that are hot.
d there were many coconut trees on oak island. the hair was used to make many things.
how did the hair get there? coconuts do not grow on oak island. they grow only in places that are hot.

Explanation:

To determine why finding coconut hair in the hole was strange, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The idea that people thought coconuts made them sick doesn't directly relate to why coconut hair would be strange to find (it's about consumption, not presence).
• Option B: Cutting down coconut trees to build boats doesn't explain why finding coconut hair would be strange (if trees existed before, hair could still be around).
• Option C: If coconuts don't grow on Oak Island (they grow in hot places), then finding coconut hair there is strange because the source (coconut trees) isn't native. This matches the provided explanation on the right.
• Option D: If there were many coconut trees, finding hair wouldn't be strange, so this is contradictory.

Answer:

C. Coconuts do not grow on Oak Island. They grow only in places that are hot.
