In fair weather, most skiers looked out from the top of the mountain and saw a magnificent vista of rolling hills, pine trees, and distant farm houses. to kiyomi, however, this view was too cruel. it was her first time skiing, and all she could think about was how it would feel to tumble down such a terrifyingly steep hill. there was no one to her. her friends had already zipped down the ski slope, expecting her to follow. instead she'd frozen, her knees weak. she watched as other skiers tore past her, heading left and right down the different trails. she was hoping to find another beginner like herself. but it seemed like everyone was an expert. then, suddenly, she caught sight of a little girl. the girl couldn't have been older than five or six. kiyomi watched her descend from the chairlift and glide to the ledge, next to where kiyomi was perched. without hesitation, the girl launched full-speed down the slope. in seconds she was a mere speck on the broad mountainside, gracefully zigzagging back and forth. kiyomi's concern for the girl's welfare quickly gave way to astonishment as she realized that the girl was a natural skier. if a six-year-old could do it, then why couldn't she? feeling a burst of courage, kiyomi planted her ski poles in the snow, pushed off with her feet, and sailed down the mountain.5what does the author suggest about the skiers' movement by using the word tore? a. the skiers move fast. b. the skiers rip up the snow. c. the skiers leap in the air. d. the skiers brush against her.
