Read the sentence from paragraph 1. He was a strong man, and he made the chips fly as he flung his axe over his shoulder and sent it ringing against the wood.

What does the author mean by the phrase “he made the chips fly” in the sentence?

a The Woodman ducked to avoid getting hit by the falling tree.

b The Woodman worked hard at his task.

c The Woodman was in a hurry to finish his work so that he could rest.

d The Woodman tossed his axe toward the tree.
