Answer 2

The mother seagull swooped upwards means to Move very quickly.

Answer: Option (c)

Explanation:

In the short story, ‘The First Flight’, the small sea-gull was unwilling to fly away from the ledge. He was very afraid of his first flight. All his siblings had flown away. The mother sea gull was however desperately trying to make him fly.

When finally he took his first flight she ‘swooped’ upwards. Swooped in this context refers to her moving very quickly upwards so that her son who would be plunging downwards could spread his wings and learn to fly.
