Answer:
b) "Captain Dall and Will Osten are planning a counterplot which might go wrong"
Explanation:
The underlined language in paragraph 8 is used to create tension since there is a sudden risk that things will not go as planned for Captain Dall and Will Osten.
This means that things may go wrong, and both of them may be pressured by the future consequences of their intentions and actions toward others, but they will do it anyhow in order to spoil the fun of others and prevent them from having fun.
Let's identify the reason why Mary cries when sick according to her age.
If Mary is an infant, she's crying because she probably wants water.
If Mary is an adolescent, she probably wants her Ma.

The correct answer is the role of adjective. Both non-finite verbs can perform the role of adjective in a sentence. The following examples show this role:
Present participle as adjective, which can be recognized from its "-ing" ending:
Look at the <u>reading</u> boy.
Past participle as adjective, which are formed by adding "-ed" to the verb:
Look at the <u>washed</u> car.
