Question

PRIL 25. Even the morning air is sultry today. I would have fished for my breakfast last night before sunset, but I knew that it would surely spoil before morning. Drinking my water warm has taken some getting used to. It's funny how we take certain things like ice for granted. If I become desperate I can always resort to eating the freeze dried rations, but that defeats my purpose for being here to begin with. Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree. I think I have almost learned to track the time by the rays of the sun... By not catching breakfast last night, the author implies that fish is a food that Q: A: A) he can put on dry ice and save. B) should not be eaten before lunch. C) can be stored overnight when it is cool. D) should be eaten soon after it is caught.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) should be eaten soon after it is caught.

Explanation:

In this story, we learn that the speaker had fish for breakfast, and that he caught it that same morning. He tells us that he could have caught it before sunset the day before, but that this would most likely lead to it spoiling before breakfast. This implies that fish cannot be stored for long, and therefore, should be eaten soon after its caught.

Answer 2

Answer:

D)should be eaten soon after it is caught

Explanation:

Since the author is concerned about the fish spoiling, the fish cannot be stored and should be eaten soon after it is caught. The author writes that "I would have fished for my breakfast last night before sunset, but I knew that it would surely spoil before morning."
