Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow

“Chris, be sure you stay close to the diving instructor when we begin our descent into the water,” Lucas said. “No problem. I’ve got this,” Chris replied. As they dove deep below the ocean’s surface, the friends and their instructor saw many amazing sights. Tropical fish and coral were all around. They even saw an eel and some starfish. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a gigantic shark as big as an elephant appeared. Chris and Lucas looked at each other with wide eyes. The instructor signaled to them to stay calm, and soon, the shark swam slowly away. When they surfaced, Chris shouted, “That was awesome and terrifying all at the same time!” Lucas replied with a shaking voice, “I’m glad you thought it was awesome because that’s not quite how I am feeling.”
