Read the following poem and answer the next five question by choosing the correct options:

The Coromandel Fishers

Rise, brothers, rise; the wakening skies pray to the morning light,
The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawn like a child that has cried all night.
Come, let us gather our nets from the shore and set our catamarans free,
To capture the leaping wealth of the tide, for we are the kings of the sea!

No longer delay, let us hasten away in the track of the sea gull's call,
The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother, the waves are our comrades all.
What though we toss at the fall of the sun where the hand of the sea-god drives?
He who holds the storm by the hair, will hide in his breast our lives.

Sweet is the shade of the coconut glade, and the scent of the mango grove,
And sweet are the sands at the full o' the moon with the sound of the voices we love;
But sweeter, O brothers, the kiss of the spray and the dance of the wild foam's glee;
Row, brother, row to the edge of the verge, where the low sky mates with the sea.

"To capture the leaping wealth of the tide". Choose the correct option which conveys the meaning of leaping wealth.

Fish

The correct answer is Option (2) - Fish

The phrase "leaping wealth of the tide" refers to the fish in the sea, which are described as "leaping" due to their movement in the water. The "wealth" symbolizes the abundance of fish that the fishermen aim to capture, as they are their livelihood.

OTHER OPTIONS

1. Pearl: Pearls are not described as "leaping," and they are not caught in the same way as fish.
2. Shell: Shells do not leap, making this choice incorrect.
3. Coral: Corals are stationary and not associated with leaping or being caught during fishing.
