Read the paragraph. When sailors of long ago stopped in harbors to deliver goods and gather supplies, they often shared stories of their adventures at sea with
the local townspeople. After each telling, a story often became more and more exaggerated. When a sailor claimed that a pod of 100 dolphins
followed his ship from seaport to seaport, listeners knew the story was ludicrous but still enjoyed hearing about the highly intelligent creatures.
Which word would best replace the underlined word in the paragraph?
1. absurd
2. fantastic
3. hysterical
4. sardonic
