Read the following passage carefully. Answer the following question by choosing the most appropriate option.Sailing homeward, the Doctor’s ship had to pass the coast of Barbary-home of the Barbary pirates. These pirates used to wait for boats and ships to pass by the coast. When they caught a boat, they would first ask everyone to disembark and after looting and plundering, they would sink the boat and sail back to Barbary singing songs and feeling elated about the deed done. They forced the people they had caught to write home to their relatives for money.Now one sunny day, the Doctor and Dab-Dab were walking up and down on the ship for exercise. Jip, who was lying nearby taking a nap in the sun, began to growl and talk in his sleep. Dab-Dab saw the sail of another boat a long way behind them on the edge of the sea. It was a red sail.“I don’t like the look of that sail,” said Dab-Dab. “I have a feeling it isn’t a friendly boat. I am afraid there is more trouble coming to us.”“I smell something cooking,” he mumbled—“with brown gravy over it. ”Then Jip, still fast asleep, began to growl again and his lip curled up angrily, showing his clean, white teeth. “See!” cried Dab-Dab. “That boat is nearer now. You can count its three big sails—all red. Whoever it is, they are coming after us. I wonder who they are.”“Well, we must put up more sails on our ship,” said the Doctor, “so we can go faster and get away from them. Run downstairs, Jip, and fetch me all the sails you see.”Choose the correct option.State why the Doctor’s ship passed the coast of Barbary.
