In the given passage from <em>The Open Boat</em> by Stephen Crane, the four survivors of the shipwreck were on a lifeboat, hoping and looking for the sight of any help, land or people to be saved. And in their eagerness to be found, they were oblivious to the fact that there was no lifesaving station nearby. And as a result, they blamed the <em>"nation's lifesavers"</em> for their poor eyesight and their inability to see them struggle out in the sea. The author used the word <em>"opprobrious"</em> to state how the four men<u> criticized and expressed their negative feelings</u> about the inability of the men supposed to be out working to save any survivors out at sea.
The correct answer would be option B. uninvolved. A caregiver who makes few demands of one's children and is not responsive or nurturing, is displaying an uninvolved parenting. Uninvolved parenting or also known as neglectful parenting shows little to no demands on their children. Oftentimes, this kind of parenting doesn't also show responsiveness to the needs of the children.
