Answer 1

Answer:

1 The Inchcape Rock is a perilous reef of the east coast of Angus, Scotland near the mouth of River Tay. The rock is just a few inches above the surface of the sea in low tide. ... Many ships have wrecked because of mistakenly crashing on to the rock, when it was covered by the sea

2 It posed a danger to the ships and the sailors passing by that way. Many ships were damaged and sailors lost their lives after the accidents. In stormy weather when the wave rose very high, the Inchcape Rock could not be seen by the sailors, so their ships or boats used to strike against the rocks in the ocean

3 The Head monk of a monastery or church is known as an Abbot. The mariners blessed the Abbot Aberbrothok because he placed a bell on the Inchcape Rock, which gave a warning to the mariners about the perilous rock and thus, saved them and their ships from drowning

4 warning bell
