Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Everybody knew about the foreign devils—the barbarians. Did they really exist, Manjiro wondered, or were they just the inventions of adults to get children to behave? Even he had told his younger sisters, "Go to sleep—or the barbarians will come and get you!"

But now, in the dark of night, the wind screaming as he bailed bucket after bucket of freezing water out of the boat, images of monsters crowded his imagination. Fanged monsters with long, slashing tails, dagger-sharp horns, and icy blue eyes.

Which best states why the excerpt makes the reader want to keep reading?

to find out how many sisters Manjiro left behind in Japan
to find out if the barbarians really exist and show up in the story
to find out about other types of stories adults invent for children
to find out why the boat became filled up with freezing water
