When the Marine Patrol boat shows up at the site, what does Grandpa say he will do?

• A. Swim for it
• B. Wave them down
• C. Speak with them
• D. Hide underwater

Answer: (A)

When a Marine Patrol boat arrives, the immediate goal for a character trying to avoid trouble is to disengage quickly. Saying he’ll swim for it conveys a direct, urgent action to escape by water, which fits the moment’s tension and the impulse to vanish from the scene. It shows a choice driven by avoidance rather than cooperation or dialogue.

Waving them down or speaking with them would invite interaction, undermining any intent to stay unseen. Hiding underwater is plausible in a water setting, but it’s a slower, less certain maneuver and not as instantly decisive as choosing to swim away right away. The phrase “swim for it” captures the quick, practical response appropriate to the situation.
