And then a swath of lower field exploded into the sky. ...

Pax found Bristle tucked into the earthy ball of its roots. Her head was up and her eyes were alert, although her muzzle was matted with blood. The fur of her beautiful brush was burned to a black crust. Pax nosed her face. The blood on her cheeks was not hers.

She dropped her head. Curled beneath her her was the still body of Runt.

Pax dipped his head to the little fox's chest. It rose and fell in ragged hitches, and Pax was relieved.

Which two statements describe how the event of the exploding land mine affects other events in this part of the story?

Select each correct answer.

• Runt is seriously injured.

• Bristle's tail is burned.

• Pax is stuck in tree roots.

• Bristle's face is bleeding.
