Answer Me This
ANSWERS1) D. Reports from the site indicate the lucky lad who unearthed the Grammy Award-winning artist’s tapes nearly passed out from joy when he realized what he had found. The discovery has lead to a rejuvenated sense of optimism among the diggers, who are certain even greater Crystal Canyon goodies will be discovered.2. D. It’s unclear who plunged their shovel into the ground first, but once they did, two dozen treasure hunters eventually did the same. Aside from the Bolton tapes, the best loot has been restricted to bottle caps and interesting-looking rocks. Many at the site say they will give up unless they find something "pretty cool-looking" soon.3. D. By press time, the owner of the truck had not been located. There is mounting resentment among the diggers, who have been unable to load dirt piles into their vehicles. Smashing the truck’s windows and holding the Calvin bumper sticker for ransom have been discussed as potential options for bringing the crisis to an end.4. D. By the time medical personnel could be summoned, the victim of the boar attack was already done for. Excavators who witnessed the incident said it appeared the unfortunate individual was dazzled by the boar’s unquestionably darling snout ring and, before he realized he was in danger, his spleen had already been consumed.
