A group of monks rowed their boat to a small island. Which two details support their claim that the island was actually a giant beast?
A When they returned to the boat for their cooking supplies, the meat was missing.
B They found plenty of driftwood on the island to build a fire to cook their dinner.
C As they were building a fire to prepare their dinner, they felt a wave-like motion.
D As they were nearing land, they saw a giant shadow beneath the surface.
E While they thought they had landed on an island, they eventually saw it move out to sea.
The two details that support their claim that the island was actually a giant beast are:
D: As they were nearing land, they saw a giant shadow beneath the surface.
E: While they thought they had landed on an island, they eventually saw it move out to sea.
Explanation: The giant shadow beneath the surface suggests something large and alive is under the water, indicating it might not be a solid island. Additionally, seeing the “island” move out to sea directly confirms that what they thought was land is actually a living creature.
