The character portrayal of Ahab is scripted as a very reserved person. Especially, after leaving Nantucket, he is not seen much by his crew on the deck.
From the description in the question, the alternate word that can express the firm and unchanging traits of the protagonist in Chapter 28, in my opinion , must be a static object. It must embody no life or movement in its definition. This kind of similarity would supplement the personality of Ahab. And here, 'a stone monument' can symbolize lifeless-rigidity in behavior which will totally complement Ahab.
Therefore, I think option-"C" is correct.
a faux pas an embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation.
a synonym for faux pas would be mistake, blunder, blooper, indiscretion, etc.

The excerpt from:
- "Annabel Lee" is written in a sestet
- "In Memorium" is written in a quatrain
- "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is written in an octave
- "Hero and Leander" is written in couplets
Explanation:
A sestet is a stanza composed of six lines, a quatrain of four lines, an octave is written in eight lines, and a couplet is a set of two rhyming lines, usually written in the same meter.
It is important to note that the definitions of all these types of stanzas have varied with different works and origins and some can further be classified into various sub-types depending on their position in the poem, meter, use, etc., and can be further elaborated with typical rhyme schemes that they use; however, the common aspect that they share is the number of lines, which is what the question is based on.

Explanation:
Email totally ignores social conventions, which are norms and agreements that allow life in society. The email, greet the person who should receive this email. Social conventions require us to greet people before we talk about our purpose with email, in addition, the person who wrote the email should identify himself. So we can say that email would be correct if it were written as follows:
<em>"Dear Mr. Lopes.
</em>
<em>I dropped an application off last week and was wondering if anyone had a chance to look over it yet. Get back to me, please.
</em>
<em>Sincerely, Natalia camara."</em>
