The water is so calm, Jada is able to see her reflection.

Answer: The water is so calm, Jada is able to see her reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that the bolded phrase was meant to be "The water was a mirror as the siblings paddled away from the beach" since that seems to be what all the potential answers gravitated towards.

Realistically, it wouldn't be either of "the water is so rough" because for water to be a mirror, it has to be calm.

And when something is a mirror, it almost always means that you can see your reflection it it.

Good luck with the rest of your assignment!

I believe that you'll be able to get it done in time, don't give up!
