The narrator's regret makes him more thoughtful and reflective about his choices and the people he will be involved with in the future.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant," tells the story of a fisherman who is in love with his neighbor, Sheila, and invites her on a date.
- She accepts the invites, but hates the moment when she finds out that the date will be on his boat.
- He says that he likes fishing and being on the boat, in the water, but realizes that Sheila doesn't share this feeling and that he's not enjoying the ride.
- At this point, a very large fish pulls the fishing net that the fisherman left in the boat. This causes the boat to shake violently and the fisherman must decide whether to hold the fish or to hold Sheila so she doesn't fall into the water.
- He decides to hold Sheila but regrets it.
The fisherman regrets this decision because he loves fishing and that fish would be a great victory for his life, Sheila, however, did not seem all that interesting.
This makes the narrator rethink his actions for the future and rethink the people he wants to be close to him, as it is better to avoid people who despise his interests, like Sheila.

Answer:
a
Explanation:
I am not 100 percent but yeah
The naturalist writing style incorporates scientific principles of objectivity and detachment. This is evident in “The Human Drift,” with its scientific examples:
These early drifts we conjecture and know must have occurred, just as we know that the first upright-walking brutes were descended from some kin of the quadrumana through having developed “a pair of great toes out of two opposable thumbs.”
Another common element of naturalist literature in “The Human Drift” is that human beings are considered practically “beasts,” savage and uncivilized:
In the misty younger world we catch glimpses of phantom races, rising, slaying, finding food, building rude civilisations, decaying, falling under the swords of stronger hands, and passing utterly away.
Naturalist writers believed that human beings and their lives are governed not just by their actions but also by forces of nature, such as flood and famine:
<span>And man has been destroyed in other ways than by the sword. Flood, famine… are potent factors in reducing population—in making room… The failure of crops in Ireland, in 1848, caused 1,000,000 deaths. </span>
Naturalism is also based on the Darwinian principle of “the survival of the fittest.” London establishes this in the following sentences:
<span>As soon as his evolution permitted, he made himself better devices for killing than the old natural ones of fang and claw. He devoted himself to the invention of killing devices.</span>
The answer is D) extended metaphor.
The author employs an extended metaphor in the passage, using a multi-sentence implied comparison between the car's owner and an animal, most likely a dog. The author describes him as growling when guarding his prized possession, like a dog with his bone. He further extends the metaphor by warning that he may bite if you get too close.
