Who is the antagonist in this excerpt from “The Wild Swans” by Hans Christian Andersen? When Eliza was fifteen she returned home

, but because she was so beautiful the witch-queen became full of spite and hatred toward her. Willingly would she have turned her into a swan like her brothers, but she did not dare to do so for fear of the king. Early one morning the queen went into the bathroom; it was built of marble and had soft cushions trimmed with the most beautiful tapestry. She took three toads with her, and kissed them, saying to the first, "When Eliza comes to bathe seat yourself upon her head, that she may become as stupid as you are." To the second toad she said, "Place yourself on her forehead, that she may become as ugly as you are, and that her friends may not know her." "Rest on her heart," she whispered to the third; "then she will have evil inclinations and suffer because of them." So she put the toads into the clear water, which at once turned green. She next called Eliza and helped her undress and get into the bath. As Eliza dipped her head under the water one of the toads sat on her hair, a second on her forehead, and a third on her breast. But she did not seem to notice them, and when she rose from the water there were three red poppies floating upon it. Had not the creatures been venomous or had they not been kissed by the witch, they would have become red roses. At all events they became flowers, because they had rested on Eliza's head and on her heart. She was too good and too innocent for sorcery to have any power over her. A. Eliza B. the brothers C. the king D. the witch-queen E. the three toads

Hi!

The answer that makes the most sense in the situation is:

We decided to take the path <em>around beneath the lake</em>.

I know that this is kind of confusing, but if you don't overthink it, it makes sense.

I hope this helped!

I know that the person in the comments said this, but I thought I could try to explain it a little bit.

God bless,

Sofia

Dovator [93]

Answer:

"The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice."

Explanation:

The lines "The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice." gives the reader information about the location of the story. This is because the other lines discuss only about how the place looks like.

The narrator mentions the location as Yukon which is about a mile wide and hidden under three feet of pure white ice. He further explains Yukon as a cold and strange place which was hundreds of miles away from other places.
