Which parts of this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" describe the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity?A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats. In a ten-foot dinghy one can get an idea of the resources of the sea in the line of waves that is not probable to the average experience, which is never at sea in a dinghy. As each slaty wall of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean, the last effort of the grim water.

B) there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective
                                  AND
E) this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean,

Answer:

Options B and E are the correct answers.

Explanation:

Stephen Crane was one of the main figures in Realist literature. He was an American poet but he also explored some other fields of narrative such as short stories and novels. The Open Boat is one of his short stories and it is based on his own experience after a shipwreck off the coast off Florida. The parts that show the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity are "there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective" and "this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean."

Mother Earth . . . is no more than the commonality of organisms and the physical environment they maintain with each passing moment, an environment that will destabilize and turn lethal if the organisms are disturbed too much. . . . To disregard the diversity of life is to risk catapulting ourselves into an alien environment. We will have become like the pilot whales that inexplicably beach themselves on New England shores.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "The author uses logos to develop his argument by providing factual information." Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.   

Answer:

The choice that best expresses the type of appeal Wilson uses in this passage is The author uses pathos to develop his argument by including emotionally charged language to evoke a response.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide neither the question nor the options to answer it.

Here is the information:

Which of the following choices best expresses the type of appeal Wilson uses in this passage?

* The author uses logos to develop his argument by providing factual information about pilot whales in New England.

* The author uses logos to develop his argument by gaining sympathy for the pilot whales in New England.

* The author uses pathos to develop his argument by including emotionally charged language to evoke a response.

* The author uses pathos to develop his argument by chastising the reader for the destruction of the environment.

This paragraph uses pathos which is a technique that has the purpose of triggering the emotions on the readers, even when this paragraph is full of factual information and it could be considered an example of logos, at first sight, all the sentences add a mysterious line where people are not really in control of the way life behaves which could make it emotional.

What happens when you scare a person "half to death" twice?????

Nothing because when you scare someone "half to death" they are using a figure of speech.
to be scared "half to death" is a metaphor for super scared. all that happens really is that you can break out in cold sweat and tremble or jump with fright. again, its just a metaphor.

When a poet changes the meter in a poem, it forces the reader toA. paraphrase the meaning.
B. emphasize key words.
C. overlook some syllables.
D. focus on figurative language.

Answers

The correct answer should be B. emphasize key words

By changing the meter you change the accentuation pattern which automatically emphasizes some parts of the lines.

Answer: B. emphasize key words I think

Explanation: section 4.3 in Brief History of Poetry in the Meter paragraph it states "Meter is the Greek word for measure. In poetry, we measure by the foot. A poetic foot is composed of two or more accented or unaccented syllables, and the different types of feet describe different patterns of stressed (accented) and unstressed (not accented) syllables. The most common type of foot is the iamb, which consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable".
