Read the adapted excerpt from Moby D1ck by Herman Melville In the year 1820, the ship Essex, run by Captain Pollard of Nantucket, was cruising in the Pacific Ocean. One day she saw spouts, lowered
her boats, and gave chase to a shoal of sperm whales. Ere long, several of the whales were wounded, when, suddenly, a very large Whale
escaping from the boats, issued from the shoal, and bore directly down upon the ship Dashing his forehead against her hull, he so crushed
her in, that in less than "ten minutes" she settled down and fell over. Not a surviving plank of her has been seen since. After the severest
exposure, part of the crew reached the land in their boats, Being returned home at last, Captain Pollard once more salled for the Pacific in
command of another ship, but was shipwrecked again upon unknown rocks and breakers, for the second time his ship was utterly lost, and
forthwith forswearing the sea, he has never tempted it since
Which choice provides the best objective summary of the excerpt?
OA A large whole destroys the Essex in 1820. The captain survives and then is most unlucky when he also loses that ship on rocks,
OB, Captain Pollard seems to have had the worst time at sea. First, he loses a ship to a whale crushing it, then he loses his second
ship when it hits rocks,
Oc Whaling ships sail at extreme risk. The Essex was lost at sea when it was viciously attacked by a whale. On another voyage,
another ship ran into rocks and breakers.
OD. The Essex, while sailing in the Pacific, encounters a very large whale that destroys it. The captain, on a second voyage, loses
another ship on unseen rocks and decides to stop going on sea voyages

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
