Answer

Sterling means of great value.

Explanation

First of all, it seems that answer choice A, C, and D are similar, leaving B the outlier. If you picked A, C and D would be viable answers as well. The same thing applies if you picked C or D.

Another way you could have figured this out is with the context in the sentence. She wanted to give Jim something <u>fine</u> and <u>rare</u>, which are synonyms for of great value.

The speaker and the captain are not happy; the captain is dead and the speaker sad because of this.

Yet, other people are happy about the end of the trip ("the people all exulting"). Those two images are being contrasted here-  so the answer is:

<span>The poet is trying to show that there are people celebrating, but they do not feel the pain of the speaker.</span>
