Question 10 (5 points) (from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling)
Read the passage carefully and then answer the question,
"It must be the head," he said at last; "the head above the hood; and when I am once there, I must not let go."
Then he jumped. The head was lying a little clear of the water-jar, under the curve of it and, as his teeth met, Rikki braced his back against the
bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head. This gave him just one second's purchase, and he made the most of it. Then he was
battered to and fro as a rat is shaken by a dog-to and fro on the floor, up and down, and round in great circles: but his eyes were red, and he
held on as the body cart-whipped over the floor, upsetting the tin dipper and the soap-dish and the flesh-brush, and banged against the tin
side of the bath. As he held he closed his jaws tighter and tighter, for he made sure he would be banged to death, and, for the honour of his
family, he preferred to be found with his teeth locked. He was dizzy, aching, and felt shaken to pieces when something went off like a
thunderclap just behind him a hot wind knocked him senseless, and red fire singed his fur. The big man had been wakened by the noise, and
had fired both barrels of a shot-gun into Nag just behind the hood.
Rikki-ikki held on with his eyes shut for now he was quite sure he was dead; but the head did not move, and the big man picked him up and
said: "It's the mongoose again, Alice: the little chap has saved our lives now." Then Teddy's mother came in with a very white face, and saw
what was left of Nag, and Rikki-tikki dragged himself to Teddy's bedroom and spent half the rest of the night shaking himself tenderly to find
out whether he was really broken into forty pieces, as he fancied.
Which sentence best describes the main idea of this passage? (5 points)
a "This passage is about the sound a shot-gun makes, and how it can frighten small animals in the dark."

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
