Question

The author jumped out of bed because ___________

• A. He heard a faint sound.
• B. He saw someone.
• C. A cold breeze blew past his face
• D. He was pushed by someone

Answer 1

The correct option is C A cold breeze blew past his face

Option C is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'For an hour I must have sat like this, and then I was suddenly roused by a drought of cold air.

I jumped out of bed; not having allowed for the motion of the ship, I was instantly thrown violently across the room.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, B, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
