Read the paragraph.

The weary hikers had been walking the desert for days. They came upon a hill that entirely blocked their view of what lay beyond it. They spent the morning climbing up a steep and rocky path that seemed to go on forever. When they reached the top, they were filled with joy and relief.

Daniela is working on a paragraph to include in a story she is writing about the adventures of two hikers.

Which sentence should Daniela add to this paragraph to best use description to show what the hikers saw from the top of the hill?

A) They were not expecting to see anything but more sand and rocks.

B) Before them spread an endless carpet of sparkling green.

C) They could see everything around them for miles and miles.

D) The hikers were looking down on a jungle.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.

explanation:

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
