With words such as dead, blood, treacherous, savage, prey, murdered, and strangled, the author creates a picture of the ocean that is a) calm and cool. b) rough and stormy. c) smooth and silky. d) cruel and bloodthirsty.

its D cruel and blood thirsty. pretty obvious

The correct answer is "D".

A metaphor is a word applied to an object to which it is not literary applicable. These words "dead", "blood", "treacherous", "savage", "prey", "murdered", and "strangled", are being used as metaphors in the description of the ocean by the author. In other words, he is trying to transmit the message to the reader that this particular ocean is far from safe and the chances of navigating past it unharmed are very low.

the answer is the last one

honestly you should not write it the word placement is not right and this does not sound right so i think you should write it this way. the life lessons i refused to learn, taught me the hard way this sounds way better you should try it! hope this is very !
