Match the underlined words in the excerpts from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" to their correct contextual meanings. Tiles disr

espectful, irreverent rapid and powerful absurd, unreasonable coarse and uncivilized Pairs But the waves continued their old impetuous swooping at the dinghy, and the little craft, no longer under way, struggled woundily over them. Many a man ought to have a bathtub larger than the boat which here rode upon the sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small-boat navigation. "Holy smoke!" said one, allowing his voice to express his impious mood, "if we keep on monkeying out here! If we've got to flounder out here all night!" It is preposterous. If this old ninny-woman, Fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived of the management of men's fortunes. She is an old hen who knows not her intention.

Answer:

King's claim in this passage is that a "determined legal and nonviolent pressure" must be mounted to end segregation in Birmingham.

Explanation:

A claim is an assertion or a statement that something or an event is correct as stated.  A claim may not be true.  It is therefore subject to proof.  That is why claims usually require evidence to substantiate them.  For instance, in preparing a set of financial statements, the principal officers (the chief executive and the chief financial officers) make assertions (claims) that the information presented therein is factual, fair, and truthful, etc.  Such assertions remain mere claims until they are proved to be true.  This is why external auditors, who are supposedly, independent of the management of the company, are expected to confirm or disconfirm such claims before the financial statements can be relied upon for any decision.

pychu [463]

Answer:

It produces shivers down the spine, or a feeling of unease.

Explanation:

The narrator hasn't said anything in this excerpt that makes them hard to believe, or unreliable. This excerpt is not particularly optimistic either. There is no blood and gore, but the narrator is clearly made uncomfortable by the painting. So the excerpt produces shivers down the spine, or a feeling of unease.
