Question

into the water. the water tossed him around, and the waves pulled him under and shoved him back up. he looked over his shoulder, expecting brody to throw him the lifeline, but wyatt had already moved 50 yards ahead of the raft. wyatt thought back to brody’s safety talk. “if you fall in,” brody had told them, “float on your back, feet facing downriver so your legs can protect you from any rocks you might hit.” wyatt rolled onto his back now, pointing his feet downstream. i have to get out of this myself, he realized. the river quieted momentarily, and wyatt was able to take deep breaths. around the bend, he saw some riverbank with fallen rocks that he might be able to hold onto. then he saw something that was better than the calm river and the fallen rocks. the raft they’d freed earlier was pulled up alongside the riverbank. its crew spotted wyatt and waved frantically. “swim to us!” they shouted. what gives wyatt the most hope as he floats in the river? he finds a bank with rocks he can grab onto. he sees the crew from the raft he had helped. he sees the paddlers from the boat he was on. he feels the water becoming much slower.

Explanation:

Para determinar qué le da más esperanza a Wyatt mientras flota en el río, analizamos el texto: "Then he saw something that was better than the calm river and the fallen rocks. The raft they’d freed earlier was pulled up alongside the riverbank. Its crew spotted Wyatt and waved frantically." Y las opciones:

• Opción 1: "He finds a bank with rocks he can grab onto" — El texto dice que las rocas son para agarrar, pero la esperanza mayor viene del bote.
• Opción 2: "He sees the crew from the raft he had helped" — El bote que habían liberado antes (y que él ayudó a liberar) llega con su tripulación que lo ve, lo que es la fuente de esperanza.
• Opción 3: "He feels the water becoming much slower" — El texto no menciona que la velocidad del agua sea la esperanza.
• Opción 4: "He sees the paddlers from the boat he was on" — No es el barco en el que estaba, sino el que habían liberado.

La opción correcta es la que se alinea con la aparición del bote y su tripulación que lo rescata.

Answer:

He sees the crew from the raft he had helped (la opción que corresponde a esta descripción, dependiendo de la numeración o etiqueta, pero la opción con este texto es la correcta).
