Explanation:

Question 8

To determine how the story shows the water cycle is never - ending, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If Wally stays in an aquifer forever, the cycle stops, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Moving from cloud to cloud without changing does not represent the cycle (the water cycle involves phase changes and movement through different reservoirs), so this is incorrect.
• Option C: The sun warming Wally and him evaporating back into the sky shows the cycle continuing (evaporation is part of the water cycle, and this process can repeat), so this is correct.
• Option D: If Wally stops flowing at the ocean, the cycle stops, so this is incorrect.

To find the phrase that best describes the role of every drop in the story:

• Option A: This just names a water drop, not its role.
• Option B: This is about joining other drops, not the role of a drop.
• Option C: This is about the sun's warmth on a drop, not its role.
• Option D: This directly states that every drop plays an important role in nature, which is about the role of a drop.

Answer:

C. The sun warms Wally again, and he evaporates back into the sky.
