Answer as written by the student:
The narrator lost his consciousness, based on the extract, because he was hit by a wave.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
Evaluate the four options given and see which one matches the cause of the narrator’s loss of consciousness.
- Option (a) He was hit by a wave is correct because it is mentioned and implied in the extract. This shows that the wave hit him hard and caused him to lose his consciousness.
- Option (b) There is no evidence of any flying object in the passage, and it would not make the narrator lose his consciousness unless it hit him with great force.
- Option (c) There is no indication of any lightning in the passage, and it would not make the narrator lose his consciousness unless it struck him directly.
- Option (d) There is no mention of any other person in the passage, and it would not make the narrator lose his consciousness unless the crewman attacked him violently.
