On his way home from the party, Ichabod hears this noise in the graveyard.
-
The cackle of the headless horseman
-
Cattails thumping on a log
-
Hoofbeats
-
A crying woman
Correct Answer
A. Cattails thumping on a logExplanation
The correct answer is cattails thumping on a log. This is the most plausible explanation because cattails are a type of plant that can make a thumping noise when they hit against a log or other object. It is unlikely that the noise would be caused by the headless horseman's cackle, hoofbeats, or a crying woman, as these are more supernatural or human sounds that would not typically be heard in a graveyard. Therefore, the cattails hitting a log is the most logical and realistic explanation for the noise Ichabod hears.Rate this question:
