PLEASE ANSWER FAST 2. The author states, “I thought back to the previous morning, remembering the crazy repacking of my sled with gear ending up in all the wrong places as I just stood there not wanting to offend anyone" (45). Before the reader continues, what inference cannot be made based on the information provided in the sentence above? The author's blisters were caused from having to repack the gear in her sled. b. The author allowed her sled to be packed incorrectly because she was afraid of offending the people, whom she likely did not know. C. The author's daydreaming about what happened the day before because it is affecting what is happening now. d. The author will likely not continue her journey as there are already too many challenges and obstacles in her path.​

A or D.

Explanation:

“I thought back to the previous morning, remembering the crazy repacking of my sled with gear ending up in all the wrong places as I just stood there not wanting to offend anyone"

(A) or (D) are the most likely answers because there is no mention of blisters or hurt feet in the above sentence, and there is no mention of obstacles or challenges. Whereas, we know that the author did not want to offend anyone and that they were repacking the sled, so (B) is possible. Similarly, we know that the author is daydreaming about repacking the sled, so it is possible that the actions of the previous morning were causing issues in the current moment (C). Hope this helps!

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
