Passage 17 On Being Solute

Passage 16
     One early morning, Thomas Garret and his family arrived in the small town of Wiltshire. The atmosphere was that of a ghost town. There was absolute silence on the streets, as if the town had been emptied out. Fog covered everything. They had to look carefully to find their way to their new home since the visibility was very low.
     Garret’s son Blake was getting restless at the thought of having to stay cooped up at home because of the weather. Blake thought to himself, I’m going to lift the fog and turn things around in this town.
     Garret knew what his son was thinking and immediately cautioned him about using his powers. They were trying to keep a low profile and did not want to attract any attention. The CIA was watching the Garrets closely. Federal authorities long suspected the Garrets of having superhuman abilities. Suspicions arose when their previous neighbor in Oregon called in a mysterious object in the Garrets’ backyard. However, when the authorities arrived, the object was long gone. When the CIA agent asked Thomas Garret about the incident, Thomas played dumb.
     Right after this incident, Thomas decided it was time to move to another town. He wanted the entire family to keep their powers undercover and act like normal people. Although his wife and daughter agreed, it was hard for Blake to listen to his dad. Thomas realized that his son was having trouble listening to his instructions, so Thomas came up with an idea.
     He told Blake that he would beam him up to planet Zeneca once every month in order to be able to carry out his experiments. This made Blake very happy, and he promised his dad that he would not blow their cover.

Passage 17

On Being Solute
by Jon Caswell

Sea foam races toward shore,
marking the tide on the beach,
where sand and sea intermingle
to create luminous pink bubbles.
A colony of them floats on the waves
with the aplomb of a bull-rider—
only to be left stranded at high tide.
Evanescent bubbles populate the beach
in iridescent mounds, effervescing
out of turbulence only to evaporate in the wind
or melt back into the surf.
Do they perceive themselves?
Do they devolve or progress?
Do bubbles aspire and transcend,
or are they just form—
subdividing nothing into something?

31. "Solute" means "a substance dissolved in a solution." Which of these statements is the best explanation of this metaphor?

The poet is comparing himself to a substance dissolved in a solution.

The poet is comparing himself to a bull rider riding ocean waves.

Iridescent pink bubbles are created when sand dissolves in seawater.

A flock of birds dissolves into the light of the setting sun.
