Answer:
C) Dad's return with the chain must have been enough to raise the mother's concerns.
Explanation:
In the story "Bear Traps," Jodi and her father are repairing the ropes that safely tied the garbage that has been damaged or shredded by bears on the lookout for any food. And even though Jodi seemed to complain about the daily act of repairing the garbage and collecting them, she inwardly felt a sense of happiness and relief in helping the bears.
While her father went to get the dock chain, Jodi saw that there were a mother bear and her three cubs sitting from a safe distance at the edge of the woods, observing their work. But before she could point them out to her father, the bear and the cubs disappeared when they saw Jodi's father come with the chains. That was probably why they decided to leave, despite Jodi's excitement in finally meeting one.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
