Read the passage. "A heron stood so still in the shallow river that the minnows thought he was a grey stone. Day after day he watched them flash past, but he never struck, for he was waiting for the fat trout that swam in the deep pool upstream. When autumn came, the trout moved on to deeper waters, and the heron, thin and hungry, went to strike at the minnows at last — but they had grown quick and wary, and his beak snapped on empty water." Why did the heron not strike at the minnows at first?

He could not see the minnows in the shallow water He was waiting for the fat trout in the deep pool He thought the minnows were grey stones He had already eaten enough that day

Correct Answer:

He was waiting for the fat trout in the deep pool
