Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. But no sooner had he said this than the wind began to roar like a dragon. The sail filled with air and yanked the boat on its side until Denzo released the line. Freed, the sail whipped about, flapping like a wounded bird. Which words best help the reader imagine the sounds on?

D) "Roar" and "flapping".

Explanation:

In Margi Preus' Heart of a Samurai, the real life story of Manjiro Nakahama is told, where he along with a group of fisherman from Japan were shipwrecked and left out at sea. But their fates changed when our hero Manjiro spotted a ship and sailed to it to get help.

In the given excerpt from the children's story, the narrator provides personification to the events, where he made the winds "roar" and the sails "flapping". These words are also, in other words, onomatopoeic, thus providing the words for the sounds they make.

Thus, the words that help the readers imagine the sounds on the ship are "roar" and "flapping".
