Correct Answer: her arms


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The original sentence mentions "the girl in the water", indicating that the girl is the subject of the sentence. Therefore, the pronoun "my" should be replaced with "her" as it refers to the girl. The action in the sentence is performed by the girl, and she is waving her own arms to draw attention to her plight. The pronoun "her " indicates possession.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The girl in the water whistled with full might and waved her arms to draw attention to her plight."
