Which sentence in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" is a metaphor that reflects the naturalistic theme that huma

n life is insignificant before the workings of fate?
"The boat was headed for the beach. The correspondent wondered if none ever ascended the tall wind tower, and if then they never looked seaward. This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants.It represented in a degree, to the correspondent, the serenity of nature amid the struggles of the individual.The coldness of the water was sad; it was tragic. This fact was somehow so mixed and confused with his opinion of his own situation that it seemed almost a proper reason for tears. The water was cold."

I believe that the sentence from this excerpt that shows such a metaphor is the following one - <u>This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants.</u>
We are the ants - we are completely insignificant before nature, and before fate itself, as, according to the naturalists, we cannot influence our own lives, but rather just wait to see what happens. We cannot change our fate - what's been decided for us is going to happen and there is nothing we can do about it.

Over [174]
<span>The correct answer would be D. Answer C neglects any opposing viewpoints, and is more of a closing sentence for the opposing argument generated in Answer D. Although the answers A and B throw Proposition S into a negative light, they do not themselves generate an opposing argument. Rather, they are just quick statements supporting the argument presented in answer D. D most sufficiently represents an opposing viewpoint as it acknowledges the other side of the argument, presents a statement that opposes this acknowledged argument, and follows with multiple supporting statements to strengthen the reasoning for opposing Proposition S. The passage continues to support this statement with: These city governments would be required to pay for public services in areas where local politicians have failed to find a way to fund their own projects. Approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. Many programs at our new community center will have to be cut. (Answer A) *This would affect more than 40,000 citizens of Northfield. The construction of Northfield Park would probably have to be put on hold. (Answer B) The passage closes with. What is good for Northfield is good for all of Westport County. (Answer C) As these are just supporting statements for the argument presented in Answer D, or closing the letter, they cannot be the main opposing viewpoint being addressed. Therefore, they would be incorrect.</span>

What can you infer from lewis's vivid description of the way the team leaders ate the extra cookies
Serga [27]

After hearing Lewis's description about the way the team leaders ate the extra cookies, it can be inferred that when you receive power, especially when you feel it was given to you arbitrarily, you assume you deserve more and better things than the rest of the people. You behold yourself as a lucky person, and lucky people have the right of grabbing other people's production.
