Which sentence from Hatchet supports the conclusion that Brian was very lucky to be rescued when he was? a) They were not nightmares, none of them were frightening, but he would awaken at times with them; just awaken and sit up and think of the lake, the forest, the fire at night, the night birds singing, the fish jumping-sit in the dark alone and think of them and it was not bad and would never be bad for him. b) Game become seemingly plentiful in the fall (it's easier to see with the leaves off the brush). c) Predictions are, for the most part, ineffective; but it might be interesting to note that had Brian not been rescued when he was, had he been forced to go into hard fall, perhaps winter, it would have been very rough on him. d) It is amazing what a single owl can do to a local population of ruffed grouse and rabbits in just a few months.
