    Explanation
    Stormy wants to be where people are unfamiliar with the sea, so he moves to Kansas. Moving to Kansas would fulfill his desire to be in a place where people are not familiar with the sea, as Kansas is a landlocked state with no coastline. Moving to the plains does not necessarily guarantee being in a place where people are unfamiliar with the sea, as there are coastal plains in some regions. Therefore, the correct answer is that Stormy moves to Kansas.
