Question

the story title got my attention immediately. it read, \an unlikely encounter.\ \wow,\ i said to myself. \what happened? did a group of campers come face to face with a grizzly bear in their tent? did a creature from mars ask for directions from a person stranded in the desert? i must read this story and find out!\

which phrase from the paragraph helps you understand that an encounter can be an unfriendly meeting?

• got my attention immediately
• face to face with a grizzly bear
• read this story and find out
• a person stranded in the desert

Explanation:

To determine which phrase shows an encounter can be unfriendly, we analyze each option:

• "got my attention immediately" relates to interest in the title, not unfriendly meetings.
• "face to face with a grizzly bear" implies a potentially dangerous (unfriendly) meeting, as grizzly bears can be threatening.
• "read this story and find out" is about curiosity to learn, not about the nature of an encounter.
• "a person stranded in the desert" describes a person's situation, not an encounter's nature.

Answer:

B. face to face with a grizzly bear
