Answer 3

The details mentioned in the passage do not explicitly indicate that the "ancient harbor town" is safe. The only detail that can be somewhat interpreted as suggesting safety is the presence of the farmers and their families, who are walking to the ferry boat with baskets full of chickens purchased at the open-air market. This can be seen as comforting, as it implies that normal daily activities are taking place and people are going about their business without any apparent concerns. However, it is important to note that these details do not explicitly confirm the safety of the town.
