The free-verse structure is in line with the poem's message about the suffering of a human being that was deprived of freedom. It is as if the poet desperately (and in vain) tries to break all the cruel constraints that his father had suffered in the concentration camp. The verse is free, but the structure is still stanzaic - it is impossible to recover from the trauma, however hard one might try.
The free verse also brings a conversational tone to the poem, breaking it free of all artificial techniques, and giving the content primacy over the form (up to a point). The message is just too important.
First you turn 2y = 7x + 3 into y = mx + b format (m is the slope)
2y = 7x + 3 (divide each side by 2)
y = (7x + 3) / 2
y = 7/2x + 3/2
^ is m
The slope is 7/2
where your question I don't know
I'd say the answer is C, 'circular reasoning'. Because they both mean
the same, so you are saying the same thing all over again in both parts
of the sentence.
It would most likely be boat terms, as the bow is a location/part of a boat, the sheet is to control the sail, the port is another location on the boat, and the tiller is something to control the movement of a boat with.
