Question 3 of 10 Read this passage:
The creek he knew was frozen clear to the bottom, no
creek could contain water in that arctic winter, but he knew
also that there were springs that bubbled out from the
hillsides and ran along under the snow and on top the ice
of the creek. He knew that the coldest snaps never froze
these springs, and he knew likewise their danger. They
were traps. They hid pools of water under the snow that
might be three inches deep, or three feet. Sometimes a
skin of ice half an inch thick covered them, and in turn was
covered by the snow. Sometimes there were alternate
layers of water and ice-skin, so that when one broke
through he kept on breaking through for a while,
sometimes wetting himself to the waist.
