The correct answer is the first one: Melville is building a mood of suspense.
Long before Ahab appears in the story, there is an atmosphere of mystery about the captain of the ship. The owners call in the crew in while Ahab is absent. Ishmael is told that Ahab is a man of few words but deep meaning; from the first moment, it is clear that the captain has a complicated personality. He is an "ungodly, god-like" man who has attended colleges as well as he has been among cannibals. Ahab is ungodly because he refuses to submit to a higher power. He does not worship or even acknowledge that there are forces beyond himself. Ahab is god-like in the sense that he represents a higher power; perhaps he even wants to be considered as a God.
The mystery is deepened as Ahab remains in his cabin through the first days of the trip. Ishmael grows anxious, checking the area outside the captain's cabin whenever the narrator goes on watch. When Ahab finally appears, in this chapter 28, he is an imposing figure whose haunted look sends shivers Ishmael's spine.

Answer:
The author writes with great scientific detail.
Explanation:
Simon Singh's "The Code Book" presents a detailed account of the history of cryptography through the tracing of its evolution and how secrecy came to be. The idea of a secret code for messages is what intrigues everyone and thus, this book delves into the how of such coded messages.
As seen in the given excerpt, the author Simon Singh states how scientific details such as <em>"p and q"</em> and the factoring of <em>"the public key, N"</em> are all processes to learn about Alice's private key. The inclusion of details such as <em>"check[ing] each prime number one at a time to see if it divides into N"</em> are all scientific approaches that will lead to the understanding of the private key.
Thus, the correct answer is the last or fourth option.
