Read this excerpt from chapter 41 of Moby-D*ck using comprehension strategies. If such a furious trope may stand, his special lu

nacy stormed his general sanity, and carried it, and turned all its concentred cannon upon its own mad mark; so that far from having lost his strength, Ahab, to that one end, did now possess a thousand fold more potency than ever he had sanely brought to bear upon any one reasonable object. What is the meaning of this excerpt? Though Ahab is physically weakened, his insanity has strengthened his will for revenge. Ahab’s anger has increased his physical strength, and he expects to do battle. Ahab has always been somewhat mad, but his insanity has recently flourished. Though Ahab has lost his ability to seek revenge, he still harbors anger and resentment.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Though Ahab is physically weakened, his insanity has strengthened his will for revenge."

Explanation:

In the above excerpt which is taken from chapter 41 of Moby-D*ck, the narrator  tries to explain that even though Ahab is not physically strong enough, his insane side of the personality made him more capable than his sane side. He gained more strength from the insanity to take revenge.

Therefore, "Though Ahab is physically weakened, his insanity has strengthened his will for revenge", is the overall meaning of the excerpt.

Why does Mark Antony describe Brutus as “the noblest Roman of them all”
tamaranim1 [39]
Brutus was a direct descendant of a man most Romans viewed as a Hero (this Hero was also called Brutus) 400 years before Caesar the first Brutus had assassinated the last Roman tyrant/king and had freed the people of Rome from oppressive rule, this original brutus had then refused to be crowned King and had instead set up the republic of rome giving people their freedom, because he killed a bad guy and then refused to be king and instead gave power to the people, this Brutus was still a hero 400 years later, his descendants (the Brutus clan) tried to live up to their founder's ideals and look after the very poorest people in rome, the Brutus of Caesar's time was the last in the line and was admired by the people of Rome for being fair and kind, and Brutus himself tried to behave like his distant ancestor - hence he killed Caesar not for personal gain but because he believed Caesar was becoming like the guy his ancestor had killed 400 years before and he believed that by killing Caesar he was saving Rome and it's people from a tyrant<span>
