Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.

Only once during all those trips did we have any trouble. Some demon boys were out in the street. They stooped as if to pick up things to throw, and Father whispered to me to sit up straight and not show I was afraid. The demon boys called out some things, but we ignored them until we had passed them by. A rock whizzed by my ear and hit Red Rabbit in the side. He snorted, but plodded on as steadily as before.

Based on the actions in this passage, what inference can be made about the narrator’s father?

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.

explanation:

he said that the sum rises in the east.

explanation:

it is definitely not rose because it does not make sense and at the same time, it is not the past or present. "he said that" means the future. he is telling someone what happens.
