Read the passage. The Peasant was in trouble. Her aged timbers groaned and shrleked as she plunged from the wave crests into the
troughs. The wind rose; spray froze on her decks. She had weathered fifty years of such batterings, fishing southeast Alaska's heavy winter seas. How much more could she take? Which line from the passage best helps create an image of cold, bitter conditions? 1. "The Peasant was in trouble." 2. "Her aged timbers groaned and shrleked" 3. "The wind rose; spray froze on her decks." 4. "How much more could she take?"
I think it is it gives the reader the strongest indication of what the text is about because the technical text gives the best information I don't know if its right but hope it helps
