Question

1. read the sentence from paragraph 9. the salmon looked at him full in the face, and then went on without minding him, with a swish or two of his tail which made the stream boil again. what is the meaning of boil as it is used in the sentence? a being vibrant b being turbulent c causing intense heat d causing small bubbles

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "boil" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The salmon swishes its tail, affecting the stream. Option A ("being vibrant") is more about energy/color, not water movement. Option C ("causing intense heat") and D ("causing small bubbles") relate to the literal boiling of water, but the context here is the stream's movement due to the tail swish, so "turbulent" (disrupted, agitated) fits better as the tail's motion would make the stream turbulent.

Answer:

B. being turbulent
