    A. Tall Rock
    Explanation
    The cormorants roosted at Tall Rock because it is a suitable location for them to rest and nest. Cormorants are known to prefer rocky areas near water bodies, and Tall Rock provides a high vantage point for them to spot prey and escape from predators. Additionally, the rocky surface of Tall Rock allows the cormorants to easily grip and perch. Therefore, it is likely that the cormorants chose Tall Rock as their roosting spot.

    Correct Answer
    A. A grassy mound of shellfish shells
    Explanation
    After Rontu won the fight with the two wild dogs, he put his head back and howled standing on a grassy mound of shellfish shells. This suggests that the grassy mound of shellfish shells was a significant location for Rontu, possibly serving as a territorial marker or a place of importance within his environment. Standing on this mound and howling could be a display of dominance or a way for Rontu to communicate his victory to others in the area.

    Scallops grow on_____________

    • The reef

    • Floating kelp

    • Rocks near the coast

    • Ledges in sea caves

    Correct Answer
    A. Floating kelp
    Explanation
    Scallops grow on floating kelp because they attach themselves to the kelp plants using byssal threads. These threads allow the scallops to remain suspended in the water column, where they can filter feed on plankton and other small organisms. The kelp provides a stable and nutrient-rich environment for the scallops to thrive. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the scallops and the kelp, as the scallops gain protection and a food source, while the kelp receives additional nutrients from the scallop waste.
