Answer:
2.Marla doesn't understand the captain's obsession with the sea, while the captain considers the sea to be the best place on earth.
Explanation:
The statement that best explains how Marla's view of her husband's life at sea contrasts with the captain's view of his life on the ocean is Marla's lack of understanding of the captain's obsession with the sea while the captain is most at ease at sea and believes its the best place on earth.
Marla's thinking and perception of the sea is different from that of the captain because she does not see anything special about the sea that anyone should be excited about.
