Answer 2

Answer: something that be carried slowly by a current of air or water

Explanation: The Polar Bear never makes his bed;

He sleeps on a cake of ice instead.

He has no blanket, no quilt, no sheet

Except the rain and snow and sleet.

He drifts about on a white ice floe

While cold winds howl and blizzards blow

And the temperature drops to forty below.

The Polar Bear never makes his bed;

The blanket he pulls up over his head

Is lined with soft and feathery snow.

If ever he rose and turned on the light,

He would find a world of bathtub white,

And icebergs floating through the night.

William Jay Smith

The underlined line means that the polar bear is sitting on a snow floe is carried slowly by water .
