Question

reread the underlined word in the story. which sentence from the story includes context clues to help you understand what a waterspout looks like? \unbelievable,\ i whisper up at the clouds, wondering what else they might throw at me. sometimes when a strong wind funnels round and round like a tornado, it picks up fish from the sea. \its a natural phenomenon that feels anything but natural,\ auntie adds with a weary smile. i squeeze excess water from my shirt while auntie hangs the net on its hook.

Explanation:

To determine which sentence provides context clues for what a waterspout looks like, we analyze each option:

• The first option talks about wondering what clouds might throw, not the appearance of a waterspout.
• The second option compares the waterspout (implied by the strong wind funneling round and round) to a tornado, which gives a visual clue about its appearance (funnel - shaped, rotating like a tornado).
• The third option describes the waterspout as a natural phenomenon but not its appearance.
• The fourth option is about squeezing water from a shirt and hanging a net, not related to the waterspout's appearance.

Answer:

B. Sometimes when a strong wind funnels round and round like a tornado, it picks up fish from the sea.
