Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The evidence from the passage which best shows Ishmael's circumstances is:

"Again, I always go to sea as a sailor because they make a point of paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single penny that I ever heard of." (paragraph 5)

Explanation:

The above evidence shows that Ishmael was a hired hand in the Pequod, a whaling ship led by captain Ahab.  Ahab was obsessed with the whale that had bit off his legs during a previous voyage.  Based on the earlier incident, he led his crew to a catastrophic revenge adventure, which claimed the life of all crew members except Ishmael.  The plot of this novel is captured in the epic novel titled "Moby D..k," authored by Herman Melville (1851).

The adventure begins
Sergio039 [100]
Answer: The rugged terrain, the fossils of large mammals, and the herd of bison are three things that would make Serena believe she was having a real adventure.


Explanation: Serena didn't seem to be taking the journey seriously, why? because she didn't find her destination particularly interesting. since the vacation didn't excite her. She didn't think there was any reason for her to go outside. Though her buddy insisted that they could have many adventures there, Serena was not finding the trip to be particularly thrilling. Even if she couldn't believe it, she did so after learning about the unforgiving landscape, the presence of fossils, and the sight of a herd of bison.
