Question

read this part of the text. this part gives the idea that when han flew the kite from the hill, it was a sign that the
a people should gather for a celebration.
b men should go to the beaches.
c kingdom should prepare for war.
d weather was too stormy to be outside.

han carried the kite to a hill and lofted it into the sky, its red sash the signal for battle. a second kite rose from a roof below, then a third, a fourth, for every house had a kite. farmers and artisans opened chests nearly forgotten. they covered themselves in red silk--their warriors robes--and made their way to the palace.

Explanation:

The text says the kite's red sash was a signal for battle, and people put on warrior's robes and went to the palace. Option A is about celebration, which doesn't match. Option B mentions beaches, not related. Option D is about weather, irrelevant. Option C says the kingdom should prepare for war, which aligns with the battle signal and people preparing as warriors.

Answer:

C. kingdom should prepare for war.
