C cannot be the answer because the narrator himself utter the words
D is far enough from the answer as there is no such words used as chest in the parragraph
Answer:
“whose origin was a Terminus.”
Explanation:
This is the phrase that works both as a paradox and as a pun. The paradox lies in the fact that the word "terminus" means "end." Therefore, it is a paradox to say that the origin was the end. Moreover, the phrase works as a pun because the word Terminus is being used as a name, but also as a way to reference a "terminal" (a train terminal).
The correct answer is C. They place great importance on property ownership
Explanation:
The purpose of the captain and the company was to buy or own the island; this idea is expressed in "its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade." This shows the captain and its people believed owning the island was important, as well as, using the resources and location of this for trade.
According to this, it can be concluded the captain and the company place great importance on property ownership. Moreover, this belief contrasts the ones of the natives in the excerpt because they accept that the company and the captain establish on the island but do not understand the company is now the owner of the island.
