An encyclopedia is a reference book that provides detailed information on various topics, including seals. It covers a wide range of subjects and provides in-depth knowledge, making it a suitable choice for finding more information about seals. On the other hand, a thesaurus is a book that lists synonyms and antonyms, which would not provide the desired information. A dictionary is a book that provides definitions and explanations of words, which may not have extensive information about seals. A phone book is a directory of telephone numbers and addresses, which is irrelevant to finding information about seals.

The group of words "horizon, quay, swell, swooped" is in alphabetical order. The words are arranged in ascending order based on the first letter of each word. "Horizon" comes before "quay" because "H" comes before "Q" in the alphabet. "Quay" comes before "swell" because "Q" comes before "S", and "swell" comes before "swooped" because "S" comes before "W". Therefore, the words are arranged in alphabetical order.

The sentence mentions that the wet winter winds buffeted the boy on his way to school, implying that the boy is on his way to school to learn. Similarly, it mentions that the young seal learned the lessons of the sea, indicating that the seal is also engaged in a learning process. Therefore, we can infer that both the boy and the seal are learning new things.

The given options are all possible ways to complete the sentence except for "coming towards the shore." This is because the sentence is talking about rain and mountainous waves, and it is logical to say that they can be very dangerous or continued pounding the surf all day. However, "coming towards the shore" does not fit well with rain and waves. Rain does not typically come towards the shore, and waves may come towards the shore, but it is not explicitly mentioned in the sentence. Therefore, "coming towards the shore" is the option that could NOT be used to complete the sentence.

The word "buffeted" should be divided into syllables as "buf-fet-ed". In this division, the first syllable "buf" contains a short vowel sound followed by the consonant sound "f". The second syllable "fet" also contains a short vowel sound followed by the consonant sound "t". The final syllable "ed" is a separate syllable because it contains the final consonant sound "d" after the vowel sound "e". Therefore, the correct division of the word into syllables is "buf-fet-ed".

In this sentence, the word "haul" is used to describe the action of the young seal pulling itself up onto the rocks. This suggests that the word "haul" means to pull.
