Answer:

C.  expressing criticism or contempt

Explanation:

In the excerpt opprobrious means expressing criticism or contempt. The men are stranded in a lifeboat. They think that there is a lifesaving station close enough to save them, if only the people in the station would open their eyes and look. The men are making critical and negative remarks about the lifesaving station they feel should be already rescuing them. However, they aren't as close to a lifesaving station as they think they are.

The word amnesty comes from the Greek word amnesta, meaning
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

forgetfulness and amnesta are related, as amnesta requires the forgetfulness of a imposed rule in order to help people,for instance. if there was a law saying USA cannot take in her borders many from this or that country , ie but a decision was made to allow the arrival of the amnesty seeking people, it would be likely that ...."amnesty," was applied to the situation. those people were given amnesty as it was seemed necessary to have them come on over. forgetting the intricacies if why we formerly did not allow the emigration if these sane was then obviously a necessity.
