I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. When I spotted the whi

te-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn't more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly. Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring, I framed the deer's head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace.

<span>B is the right answer. With the phrase 'the wind must have been right' the author is implying that he was only fortunate enough to take that shot because the deer was not able to pick up his scent on the wind. Although the other answers for this question might be implied by other sentences within the text, the question itself asks specifically about the sentence referencing the wind.</span>

What method can you convevie to get something out of a crevice?​
Musya8 [376]

Answer:The method that one can conceive to get something out of a crevice is by using a bug stick and by getting tweezers to get something small out. The definition of a crevice is a long, tight space often found on the face of a mountain or other geological formation. These crevices can either be large or small but since these locations are hard to reach, these places are really great places for hiding. These are where you can see reptiles, bugs, and even lost climbers. Oftentimes, the word crevice is a natural formation but at the same time this is used to describe any long, narrow space that’s hard to access.
