This paragraph develops the characters in the dialogue by showing that Adam is afraid of what is in the water, but Laura is fearless and likes to tease him. Thus, option "C" is correct.
<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>
This text is providing characterization by telling the reader how differently the two characters react to their environment in a narrative of events.
Adam is shown as fearful through indirect characterization:
"stepped ... carefully;"
"winced;"
"nearly screamed."
On the other hand, Laura is directly described by the narrator as someone who "wasn't afraid of anything." Other hints from the text signal to the reader that she is enthusiastic and adventurous:
"She was the type to dive off a cliff and not even think about what was in the water below;"
"it’s so cool!"
Her "scooping a crab into her hand" and bringing it closer to her face is what is interpreted by the narrator as teasing because Laura is gently mocking his fears by showing how close you can get to what Adam perceives as a danger.
Thus, option "C" is correct.

Tim is someone's name, and thus, <u>is a proper noun.</u>
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u> A proper noun is a specific noun. For example, "lake" is a common noun and thus do not need capitalization but Lake Michigan is a specific noun (because it's a specific place) and does need capitalized. All proper nouns need capitalization, and a common proper noun is someone's name.
Doctor can be used generally, you could say, "I think I need to go see a doctor" so that's not it
Uncle could work if you were referring to someone specifically. "My uncle is coming over" is using it in a general sense, but, "My Uncle John is coming over" is more specific, so that would be a specific noun but in this case, it isn't.
<u></u>
Robot by itself is a common noun so it isn't an option. For example, "did you see this cool robot she's working on?" It's used in a general sense.
