D. The boat was too far away for the Coast Guard to reach the child.
Here is the full passage for this question:
<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>
I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.
The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>

Answer:
A) They are some of the oldest living things on the planet.
B) They are a type of redwood tree.
Explanation:
The giant sequoia is one of the three species of redwoods. Redwoods belong to coniferous trees, which means that they have needle-like leaves that do not turn red, yellow, and orange in the fall nor fall off. Some of these trees are the oldest living beings on the planet (one of them is over 3500 years old). Despite the size of the tree (the tallest one is 311 feet tall), its roots do not reach deep, only 12 to 14 feet. The climate the giant sequoia is usually found in is humid, with dry summers and snowy winters.
Based on these facts, we can conclude that only statements A and B are correct.
