D) You decide that it would be wise to go straight to the aqueduct, rather than risk being late again. You walk the several miles to the steps that lead up the steep slope to the high aqueduct. You feel your ears crackle as you ascend the steep steps to the top of the bridge-like structure. Your foreman is already at the top, barking orders to construction workers chiseling stone and brick. Your job seems easy, but it sometimes gets lonely. Since you are young, your job is to walk along the entire length of the bridge-like aqueduct and make sure that nothing blocks the flow of fresh clean water from the hillsides to the city below. You carry a shovel over your shoulder and head out on your long journey across the long structure. It’s good for you that you’re not afraid of heights otherwise this would be a difficult job indeed. Suddenly, you notice a dark mass in the water below your feet. “What could it be?” you wonder aloud. Just as your eyes adjust to the sun’s glare reflecting off the water, you hear a scream coming from further down the aqueduct!
Do you?
G) Jump into the water to find out what the dark mass in the water is
