The old lighthouse keeper, Thomas, lived a solitary life on the rugged coast. One stormy night, as the waves crashed against the rocks, he noticed a faint, blinking light far out at sea, not a ship's light, but something unusual.

Thomas knew he had to act fast, but his radio was out, and the storm was worsening. He quickly thought of a plan... Which of the following options best completes the story logically?
A) ...He decided to go to bed, hoping the storm would pass by morning.
