C .The informal language in "blue with cold" and "whizzing through" creates a miserable tone, making the passage sound depressing.

Throughout the passage the speaker describes the misery the people are enduring. He says, "how we shivered", "blue with cold", and "the minutes stretched" all add to this miserable tone. We don't know what is happening, but we are not left in suspense nor do things feel threatening or anxious. The simple informal statements with vivid descriptions of the elements add to the depressing feel of the passage.

Deep "v" hulls operate best in what type of water conditions
Jlenok [28]
The correct answer here would be in rough waters.

This is a total opposite of the flat-bottom hulls and it really does excel in rough waters. It's all in the shape. It's "v" shaped acts as a sort of knife as it cuts through the waves which makes it a favorite shape for the offshore sportboats. They are though less suited for shallow water use.
