Explanation:
To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land. These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men.
By reading the above statement it is clear that the sailors fear that what they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.
In the year 1819 the crew of the whaleship Essex drifted in the middle of the Pacific. The ship was capsized for 24 hours and now it was the time to take a decision ,to make a plan but they had very few options. The narrator Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.
The nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands which was about 1,200 miles away from the ships position but then they have heard some frightening rumors about the island populated by cannibals. Another option was Hawaii, but the captain was afraid they’d be struck by severe storms. Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.
The answer is A :))))))))))))))))

Answer:
The main disagreement between Susan Baker and John Denver was about placing a warning label on music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics while John Denver did not support any censorship of any kind on music released.
Explanation:
Firstly, John Denver, a Folk-rock musician, was strongly opposed to censorship of any kind in the society or anywhere else in the world and that in his experience censors often misinterpret music, as was the case in one of his songs.
Secondly, John Denver believed that censoring is counter productive, in that the more people are prevented from doing something the more curious they are to try to do it. In essence, he said that which is denied becomes that which is desired, and that thing that is hidden becomes the most interesting to search for.
