Question

Rengu made his way along the rocky cliff and crags of the coast. The wind ripped through his jacket. It was turning his fingers blue. Even so, he was steadfast. He knew how important his role as scout was to the team. He was to look out and warn them about any upcoming danger.
That's when he heard it. A marching sound 100 yards away. He squinted his eyes against the rainfall and winds. He made out a squadron of Deleps rising from the sea. Their armor hacked away at the tide. He had to warn his team!

In the passage above, what does the word "hacked" illustrate about the armor of the Deleps?
Select one:
a. Their armor is expensive.
b. Their armor is cheap.
c. Their armor is light and smooth.
d. Their armor is hard and sharp.

Answer 1

D. Hacked doesn't have anything to do with the price of the armor and it wouldn't make sense for armor to hack at the sea if it's light and smooth.

Answer 2

I would say C. because it seems most right to me
