Question

select the correct answer. then press the submit button. the bug could not get out of the river. why? a the bug was stuck under a rock. b the water was moving too fast. c the water was too deep. d the bug did not have a boat.

Explanation:

To determine why the bug couldn't get out of the river, we analyze each option. Option A (stuck under a rock) is less likely as the question is about getting out of the river, not being trapped. Option D (no boat) is illogical as bugs don't use boats. Option C (water too deep) doesn't directly prevent escape; fast - moving water (Option B) would make it difficult for a small bug to swim or move out, as strong currents can hinder movement.

Answer:

B. The water was moving too fast.
