Question

Read the passage carefully.

Just then the noise of horses topped the rise, and four or five riders came in sight in the moonlight and swept at full gallop down the slope.

At this Pew saw his error, turned with a scream, and ran straight for the ditch, into which he rolled. But he was on his feet again in a second and made another dash, now utterly bewildered, right under the nearest of the coming horses.

Answer 1

Answer:

"the noise of the horses"

"turned with a scream"

"made another dash"

Explanation:

These three phrases show that Pew is being frightened by the sound of the horses coming closer. So, when he quickly dashes away, he is most likely running out of fear. When he "turned with a scream" it shows that Pew was horrified by the thought that the riders on the horses were going to catch up to him. He is screaming out of terror.
