Under their roof, the baby grew quickly into a strong and capable boy. His adoptive parents noticed that their son’s face began to radiate a warm, golden light. This light grew in intensity with each passing year. Whenever the boy sat on the shore with his mother, streams of light stretched out across the waves.

Answer 2

B). He has supernatural abilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inference is described as the understanding/deduction of the ideas or thoughts which are implicitly suggested by the author.

In the given excerpt, the inference that the readers can make from the given excerpt would be that 'the boy possesses supernatural abilities.' The descriptions or cues like 'their son’s face began to radiate a warm, golden light' and this light 'grew in intensity with each passing year' clearly substantiate this inference. Whenever the mother took the boy on the shores of the sea, 'the streams of light stretch out across the waves.' This implies that the boy possesses some extraordinary and mystical. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
