Answer Options

The first light of dawn spreads across the horizon, turning the sea into a smooth surface that shivers with each gentle ripple.

Waves lap the shore in a steady rhythm, their foam brushing the sand as delicately as a lover's whisper. The sky blushes pink, and the golden sun climbs slowly, painting the clouds with pastel hues. A thin breeze brushes the skin, as light as a feather, inviting thoughts to drift as freely as the tide.
