He feared that if she were not already dead, she would die slowly and painfully. Supporting evidence includes, “The water would slowly and inevitably rise until the air pocket was only six inches; her head would be trapped . . . . The water would torture her, then it would drown her.” (lines 156–159)ANS: He reveals that she is brave and resourceful when, despite her fear that she would die, she says to herself, “Scoot, you’ve got to get out of here! There has to be some way to get out . . .” (lines 224–225); also, when she thinks that Sully is hurt, she realizes that she’ll have to get out on her own (lines 287–288). We learn that Scoot is clear-thinking and determined when she remembers the flashlight (line 303) and thinks of using a wrench to open the dogs on the skylight (line 347).1 ................
