Which evidence from the passage best shows Ishmael's circumstances?

English

Darina [25.2K]2 years ago

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).

1.Read these lines from the poem.
snow_lady [41]

Answer 1: B. They reveal that the speaker enters relationships for her own amusement.

In a small extract like this, words like "alone" and "bore away" are crucial. The author here is describing that they took the "glory and the spoil" by bearing away (removing themselves from a certain place, environment, or mental or emotional state) and laughing, suggesting a careless person who gets through life by not taking things too seriously. This does not allude to someone of a generous nature (A), someone who takes things (a relationship) seriously (C) or reinforces the idea that the speaker is intentionally cruel (D). The lines however do reveal that the spearker enters a relationship for her own amusement (B), as we know that this careless person likes to be amused (laugh) and tends to be careless, especially with other people's feelings. Therefore, B is the answer.
