Question

Answer 1

The death rattle of an entire convoy with the end approaching.

Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence from the passage that best supports the author's viewpoint that the situation is hopeless is d): “The death rattle of an entire convoy with the end approaching.”

Explanation:

In these lines, the author describes the scene with the knowledge of being close to death. In this excerpt, he says: "with the end approaching", he knows the end is coming and he seems to have no doubt about it, he is hopeless. It doesn't seem to be a possible way out of the death, that's why I chose the last option, because the author describes the end as a fact and not as a possible outcome of events.
