Answer:

1) The correct answer here is D)

 

Explanation:

The simile that compares the boat to a bucking broncho strengthened the tense mood.

Paragraph 9 reads:

The boat "pranced and reared, and plunged like an animal" repeatedly over "walls of water" repeatedly.

This sort of comparison forces one to think about the kind of attention channels at riding wild and dangerous animal.

The simile communicates great danger to the reader of the possibility of the boat to crash or capsize at any given moment as it slams against the waters and into the huge waves before them.

2) The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The phrase "<em>The mind of the master of a vessel is rooted deep in the timbers of her</em>" alludes that the Captain of the vessel regardless of how long they have commanded such vessel.

3)   The excerpt which confirms the relentlessness and indifference of the ocean is given below

"<em>A particular danger of the sea is the fact that after successfully get­ting through one wave, you discover that there is another behind it. The next wave is just as nervously anxious and purposeful to overturn boats.</em>"

Cheers!

Read these lines from "Of Cannibals" and answer the question. . . . clever people observe more things and more curiously, but th
Fittoniya [83]

The  skepticism is characterized by an atittude of doubting, questioning and/or not believing something or someone.

As we can see in “Of Cannibals”, Montaigned used skepticism to justify his arguments on his opinion about clever people. For instance:

1) “They never show you things as they are” – The author also said that clever people “cannot help altering history a little”, and then he says that they never show things as they really are; meaning that since he believes that clever people tend to change facts and information, the consequence of it is that their speech isn’t 100% honest. Therefore, he is skeptical when it comes to the true nature of those facts.

2) (...) And to give credence to their judgement and attract you to it, they are prone to add something to the matter, to strecht it out or amplify it”  – Now the author claims that clever people try to convince others by adding details or facts to what actually happened. He believes that once the fact is amplified, it gets more attention and credit. In this case, he is being skeptical in regards to judgements and opinions, suggesting that clever people aren’t really honest in their judgements as they want others to “buy their ideas” and because of it they will tell things in a way that will persuade people to do what they want and believe what they say.
