Far below, a long, pale shape seemed to glide and soar. Thin at one end and wider at the other, it
somewhat resembled a trident. But even through the rippling water she could see it was too fat to
be a trident. Perhaps it was a long, muscular fish. A hammerhead shark.
Which can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A Lala worries her brother may be in danger.
B Lala has searched for her brother before.
C Lala is not easily frightened.
D Lala is not experienced at sailing on the water.
C Lala is not easily frightened.
C Lala is not easily frightened.
To infer an answer to this question, we need to examine the information provided in paragraph 4. The paragraph describes a long, pale shape in the water that resembles a trident, but is too fat to be one. The narrator also speculates that it could be a long, muscular fish or a hammerhead shark.
Based on this paragraph, there is no information provided about Lala's worries about her brother, any past searches for her brother, or her sailing experience. Therefore, we can eliminate options A, B, and D as they are not supported by the given information.
Option C states that Lala is not easily frightened. Although this characteristic is not explicitly stated in paragraph 4, it can be inferred from the fact that Lala calmly observes the mysterious shape in the water and speculates about its nature. This implies that she is not easily frightened. Therefore, the answer would be C, Lala is not easily frightened.
