It is D because once the heavy dark cloud is rushing in from the horizon it means the storm is coming in

The revision that corrects the sentence is D) Heavy, black clouds rushing in from the horizon mean a storm is coming.

The sentence is incorrect because it is incomplete. "Heavy, black clouds rushing in from the horizon" is only the subject of the sentence; therefore, it must be followed by a verb. "Rushing in from the horizon" is not the predicate of the sentence but a participial phrase working as an adjective modifying the noun "clouds". Therefore, option D) is correct because it is the only one that provides a predicate for the incomplete sentence ("mean a storm is coming"). On the other hand, option A), B) and C) leave the sentence incomplete and add another sentence (in the case of A. and B.) or a subordinate clause instead (introduced by "when" in C.).

Refer to the Of Their Voyage and How They passed the Sea, and of Their Safe Arrival at Cape Cod" section from Of Plymouth Planta

Elodia [21]

The result of the young seaman's disrespectful attitude was that A. God punished the seaman for his cruelty by inflicting him with a sickness so serious that he did not recover.

William Bradford was one of the travelers on the Mayflower that was sailing to the future Plymouth colony. In his journals, he wrote of a young man who sailed with them.

The young man was quite problematic because:

he disrespected the sick
he cursed the sick and told them that he would help throw them overboard and take their property and,
he was quite vulgar

He was however struck with a sickness that according to William Bradford, came from God. The young man never made it to the colony and was instead thrown overboard.

In conclusion, because of the young man's disrespect, God punished him with an illness that killed him.
