Read the passage from the novel Moby-D ick. How does the author use the wind here to tell the reader more about the main charact

er, Captain Ahab?
From Moby-D ick

“And yet, I say again, and swear it now, that there’s something all glorious and gracious in the wind. These warm trade winds, at least, that in the clear heavens blow straight on, in strong and steadfast, vigorous mildness; and veer not from their mark, however the baser currents of the sea may turn and tack, and mightiest Mississippis of the land swift and swerve about, uncertain where to go at last. And by the eternal poles! these same trades that so directly blow my good ship on; these trades, or something like them—something so unchangeable, and full as strong, blow my keeled soul along!”



a) Captain Ahab is certain that, should he die pursuing the white whale, his soul will ascend to heaven.

b) Captain Ahab feels justified and confident in his unwavering pursuit of the white whale.

c) Captain Ahab is worried that unfavorable winds might cause him to fail to find the white whale.

d) Captain Ahab is glad that the strong trade winds are helping him catch up with the white whale.

In 1887, Hamlin Garland traveled from Boston to South Dakota to visit his mother and father, whom he had not seen in six years. According to his own account, the trip through farming country was a revelation. Although he had been brought up on a farm, he had never realized how wretched farmers’ lives were. The farther west he traveled, the more oppressive it became for him to see the bleakness of the landscape and the poverty of its people. When he reached his parents’ farm and found his mother living in hopeless misery, Garland’s depression turned to bitterness, and in this mood he wrote Main-Travelled Roads, a series of short stories about farm life in the Midwest.

In the following sentence, what type of context clue is used to help you figure out the meaning of the word aptitude?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Definition

Explanation:

You know it's a definition because it provides the meaning of the word inside commas directly after the word. It's not a synonym nor an antonym because it's not one word, and it's not an inference because you're not making an educated guess about the word based on the rest of the sentence. The sentence is <em>directly</em> telling you what the unknown word means, so it must be a definition.
