ownright abysmal. Peering over the edge into the dark abysmal, Frank thought maybe he wasn’t cut out for caving. Jill could not understand Seth’s unflappable abysmal in the face of certain failure. Phil nearly fell into the deep abysmal due to his foolish habit of reading while walking.

The correct answer is While breaking one pencil during the SATs is bad luck, breaking six pencils is downright abysmal.
Because abysmal is an adjective, and in the rest of the examples it is incorrectly used instead of a noun.

Answer:

“And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, ‘I can eat nuts.’”

Explanation:

Kipling's story titled 'The Crab that played with the Sea' primarily discusses the story of a crab and how it is changed from a huge animal to a tiny being through the flow of tides and ebb.

The above statement most clearly reflects the author's key reason for writing. The descriptions like 'picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand', 'waved them in his little arms', etc. reflect that the author aims to inform the readers about the consequences faced by Pau Amma(the monster crab) for causing problems in the sea. It also informs the readers that why crab was converted into a tiny creature from a huge animal. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
