The correct answer with a full explanation. Practice this interactively instead →
A terrible combat ensued. The shark had seemed to roar, if I might say so, the blood rushed in torrents from its wound. The sea was dyed red, and through the opaque liquid I could distinguish nothing more. Nothing more, until the moment, when like lightning, I saw the undaunted captain hanging on to one of the creature’s fins, struggling as he was, hand to hand with the monster and dealing successive blows at his enemy. Yet unable to give a decisive one.
'A terrible combat ensued' here implies :
a)A battle between the two sharks ended
b)A contest between the captain and the shark ended
c)A battle between the captain and the shark followed✓ Correct
d)Warfare between the captain and the shark concluded
The word 'ensued' means to happen or occur afterward as a result, implying that a battle followed the encounter between the captain and the shark.
