Question

. Which statement from the passage emphasizes the positive aspects of swimming in the ocean?

Question 1 options:

"I recently had the opportunity on an island in Washington State, but I very nearly passed it up."


"I nearly followed her, eager to thaw out my practically numb toes."


"We stood a few feet apart, up to our knees in the freezing cold surf and daring each other to go under."


"There's no chlorine to sting your eyes either, or dry out your skin, just cleansing saltwater."

Answer 1

Answer:

"There's no chlorine to sting your eyes either, or dry out your skin, just cleansing saltwater"

Explanation:

In the first sentence, the speaker talked about a chance to go to an island in Washington State, nowhere does it mention an ocean. The same goes for the second question. The third sentence implies being near the ocean, but doesn't praise any aspect of it. Only in the last statement it emphasizes the positives of swimming in the ocean, saying that the water is better than a swimming pool.
