What does the conflict in this passage suggest about the character of Higgins?
Higgins swabbed the whole deck of the Seagull and then tied off the
mainsail as the wind kicked up. The captain shouted, "Higgins, get up
in the crow's nest and look for rocks."
"Aye, aye, Captain!" Higgins said. Then he muttered under his breath,
"One day, I'll be the one who orders you around."
Up top, Higgins immediately saw that the Seagull was headed straight
for a rock. He froze. He tried to yell out, but the words caught in his
throat. This wasn't happening.
O A. He is someone who panics in the face of danger.
O B. He has never been on a ship before the present.
O C. He will know what to do if the ship starts to sink.
O D. He gets seasick easily and wants to return home.
