Question

Which phrase from the excerpt supports the claim that there is something sinister about the island?

“those fishy blue eyes”
“a sort of sudden dread”
“pure imagination”
“one superstitious sailor”

Answer 1

"a sort of sudden dread"

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Why these are incorrect:

A. The fishy blue eyes do not mention something bad. It may as well be positive.

C. This has a neutral connotation, and since sinister means bad, it can't be C.

D. Like C, this also has a neutral connotation.

That leaves us with B, the only answer with a negative connotation. It is the only answer that claims something sinister. Also I took the quiz on edge.

Hope this helps!!!
