Question

Read the following excerpt from Robinson Crusoe.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The captain.

Explanation:

In Chapter XXVI of Robinson Crusoe by William Defoe, Robinson Crusoe saw a ship come towards his island and along with that, three captives being led to the island. On further investigation, he found out that the "three prisoners" were actually part of the ship's actual men, one of them being the captain of the ship. He even told Crusoe that he "was commander of that ship, [his] men have mutinied against [him]".

So, the man "with tears running down his face, and  trembling" was the captain of the ship. He told Crusoe how his men had mutinied against him and two of his men, and were now captives at the hands of the mutineers. Thus, the given passage or lines is a description of the captain who was happy and grateful to Crusoe for coming to their aid and saving their lives from the captors.
