Drew stared at her in disbelief. The gale-force winds had not yet uprooted any of the towering palms that lined the hotel drive, but he was certain that it would only be a matter of minutes before that happened. And his aunt was asking him why he thought there was a storm! He turned toward the window and froze. The bay stretched before them like a pane of polished glass, reflecting the deep scarlet and gold of the sunset. A few sailboats dotted its surface, but their movement was gentle. There was scarcely enough wind to fill their sails.


What does the author mean by saying that the bay is "a pane of polished glass" in paragraph 6?

A. The bay is well kept and inviting

B. The water is frozen and shiny

C. The bay is clean and healthy

D. The water is still and bright

Answer:

D. The water is still and bright .

Explanation:

In the given passage, the "bay" that is mentioned in the open sea, the open waters along the coast. And the outside scene was that of the 'calm-before-a-storm' situation type.

While Drew knew "it would only be a matter of minutes" before the gale-force winds arrive at their hotel's location, the scene outside did nothing to hint that there was indeed an impending storm. The description of the "bay stretched before them like a pane of polished glass" suggests how still and bright the water in the ocean looks, disguising any hint of destruction and havoc.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
