Which phrase from the excerpt most clearly suggests what Tommy thinks a life at sea will bring?

ivolga24 [154]

The phrase from the excerpt most clearly suggests what Tommy thinks a life at sea will bring is one that states "Moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants". The Option B is correct.

<h2>What is Tommy thinking about life at sea?</h2>

He quoted that "sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors will sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor".

From the excerpt, he describes in the lines of this excerpt how he imagines the life of a sailor would be, and he dreams with faraway lands and he thinks about those places and all the wonders they might see in there, he wishes to grow up so he can become a sailor and go to all these incredible adventures around the world.

Missing option <em>"The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes. Moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants.What strange things would they have seen. They came back to anchor at Kingsbridge</em>
