Question

Based on this passage, which statement is true about Se-Jin and Yanus?

The boat bobbed and slapped against the water as it moved farther out to sea. Yanus looked at the sky; it was dark and foreboding. The wind was picking up. He gripped the side of the boat as they rolled through rough waves.

"Se-Jin, what do you think of that sky? Looks like a storm's coming in."

"Yanus," Se-Jin said, ducking beneath the sail and ignoring him, "hand me my rod. Here's where we'll find the big fish." Yanus did as he was told, but his eyes were on the horizon.

Se-Jin cast his line into the distance and began singing. His singing would only stop once a bass or a cod came slapping wet into the boat. Yanus sat and stared at the darkness steadily stretching across the sky, darkening the water beneath it. Suddenly, Se-Jin's rod nearly bent in half.

"Whoa!" he yelled as he leaned back and started reeling. "Yanus, get a look at the tug on this line! This fish's a fighter! Yanus, you best believe I'm going to—"

Se-Jin's voice was cut off by a clap of thunder that sounded like a window shattering. Lightning lit the sky. The storm had arrived. Se-Jin cut the line with his penknife, releasing his prized catch, and fastened the rod back in place. He ducked back beneath the sail to turn the boat around. Waves washed over the stern as the two men leaned to sharpen their turn back toward land. Yanus held his breath as though he was already underwater.

A.
Both Se-Jin and Yanus are cowardly.
B.
Se-Jin is a show-off, whereas Yanus is modest.

Both Se-Jin and Yanus are adventurous.
D.
Se-Jin is an adventurer, whereas Yanus is fearful.

Answer 2

Answer: D) Se-Jin is an adventurer, whereas Yanus is fearful.

Explanation: In the given passage we can see the description of how Se-Jin and Yanus were fishing in a stormy day, Yanus was aware that a storm was coming and tried to prevent Se-Jin, who ignore him and proceeded to start fishing. We can see that Yanus was fearful of the storm because he kept looking at the sky, while Se-Jin is an adventurer, because he only went back to the shore when the storm had arrived. So the correct answer is option D.
