Where on earth was typical written anyway? I wrote rescue abd stuck to it cause I could a find a more appropriate word, but I had the feeling that rescue wasn't the correct word...I went over the WHOLE passage 4 times but I still don't remember seeing typical anywhere. Where was it written

LOL. In the paragraph, no codewords :p

The second one i wrote cant tell because in the passage i saw "rumoured" before the sentence hence i thought it could be CT

And was the shore described as shrinking. I wrote that the boy and the pipe were moving further and further into the sea...it doesn't make sense now that I think about it. But I originally wrote that it was because the water was moving inland, and my answer najes more sense than that :p

It was written right before the word rescue; a typical rescue!

Shore is the edge of the sea. Considering that, as earlier mentioned, it showed the because of the TIDES the water was moving inland.

exactly same is with me the boy who is best in english in my class wrote typical some wrote exposed while some wrote rescued...
i just had a feeling that they asked about the place where such incidents were frequent rather than the people so typical or exposed might be more appropriate...
Yeah I have a hunch that the answer was typical...there's a pattern. Too bad I completely overlooked the word

The answer is TYPICAL. With all my understanding I can say that because many words suggested 'stuck' such as 'rescue', 'crawl'. I wrote crawl. :cry:
Only 'typical' suggested that the people got stuck OFTEN and that this had happened BEFORE too.

But there weren't any tides, at least not near the shore. The boy travelled to far into the sea so the sea and the intensity of the waves in that region pulled him back. The shore appeared to be moving away from the boy, and when the other kid looked upon the former, he could barely see the shore from the corner of his eyes

The Trye False was as T Ct Ct as I remember, because rumours can be both True Or False. Not necessary for them to be false.
ould be a problem because they clearly stated Not to exceed 160 words.

But the quote that they took said that 'people got stuck' and what single eons suggested that. It's so confusing

Acctually, the second one was false because it wasn't a rumor, the GRANDSON of the emperor was rumored to have gifted pandas but the question asked about the EMPEROR gifting the pandas, which is, completely incorrect.

It was mentioned earlier that the tide would rise the water to a level that would result in Phelps becoming completely drowned. This means that when he says 'shrinking shore', he means that the SHORE was seemingly becoming smaller because of the water.
You're reasoning is understandable but the fact that Miles was moving towards Phelps cancels it out I guess.

But that's a way of writing....that's how one writes descriptive essays. The writer already write a factual statement in the previous sentence, and he couldn't make this sentence sound the same so he weaved in the word 'rumored. I'd do that too, even when I would want to deliver a clear cut message'

Write down the single word from the passage/paragraph that suggests that 'very often other people got stuck too'.
Now, since there were TWO alternatives for stuck, the answer was bound to be TYPICAL. :cry:

But he wasn't coming toward phelps. I wrote that at first as well, but then I put myself in the writers shoes and asked myself why he would mean that. The tides moving in just didn't fit in with the context of the sentence

I just wrote about the tides because IT WAS mentioned earlier. Other than that, the PARAGRAPH from which the question was asked told us that Miles was going towards Phelps with the rope.
