Answer:
C. Sykes is a violent man who has killed three women
Explanation:
This is the question regarding Zora Neale Hurston's short story "Sweat".
The story tells about Delia, a wash-woman, who is married to Sykes, an abusive, unfaithful, violent husband.
The particular question refers to the scene where few local men, after seeing Delia carrying laundry on her pony, start talking about her.
They first noticd how hardworking she is and how fifteen years of bad marriage changed her appearance.
Then they start talking about her husband, Sykes, blaming him for mistreating his wife, expressing their lack of nice words for him.
However, although considering him violent, they don't state that he has killed three women; they only say the amount of beating Delia took was enough to kill three women, which can be seen from the line:
"He done beat huh ‘nough tuh kill three women, let ‘lone change they looks,” said Elijah Moseley.
By inference, the theme of the text is: "It is important to always put safety first, especially when carrying out a risky activity."

"The message is clear always wear a life jacket when you're out on the water."

Answer:
C. It will cause the population to decrease.
This is a SIMILE - if words such as 'as' or 'like' are used in order to compare two things (in this case, 'giant rocks with razor edges crouch LIKE a sea monster with wide open jaws'), then it is a simile.
Based on the excerpt from Joseph Conrad's "The Lagoon", I think that it takes Arsat all night to tell his story. I have inferred such due to the sentence: "<span>Before his face the sun showed its edge above the tree-tops, rising steadily." This means that the sun has already risen. Arsat told a story about his past wherein he and Diamelen, escaped from the rajah's men. </span>
