The selection states that Laura once spent 47 days at sea without one stop, and when she finally did get off the boat, she had sea legs. What does this mean?
A) Her legs felt wobbly on dry land because she was so used to being on the water.
B) Her legs had gotten hurt while on the boat and she needed to stay on land to heal them.
C) Her legs became so dry that the skin on them looked like fish scales.
D) Her legs had grown so much that she was a full three inches taller by the time she finished her trip.
The correct answer is A) Her legs felt wobbly on dry land because she was so used to being on the water.
Explanation: “Sea legs” refers to the sensation experienced by people who have spent a long time on a boat; they may feel unsteady or wobbly when they return to solid ground. This is due to the body’s adjustment to the motion of the sea, which makes walking on land feel unusual after an extended time spent at sea.
