    Correct Answer
    A. A spear
    Explanation

A spear would provide him with a longer reach and better accuracy, allowing him to catch fish more easily.

    Correct Answer
    A. When Brian hears or sees something he knows what it is in his mind, and he moves to be ready for it, to deal with it.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Brian is a nervous wreck, jumping at every little sound." This is because the sentence states that Brian's arms have grown strong from carrying firewood, which suggests that he has been in a constant state of alertness and readiness to deal with potential dangers. This aligns with the idea that he is a nervous wreck, jumping at every little sound, as he has become hypervigilant due to his fear of the ghost of the dead pilot.
