Answer: It reveals Ahab’s commitment to his mission for revenge.

In this passage, the speaker is describing the impact that Ahab caused when meeting him for the first time. He describes his white, whalebone leg, and how he fashioned it out of a sperm whale's jaw. He also describes how there was an auger hole on the deck, upon which Ahab would steady his leg. He would stand there and look out beyond the prow for hours on end. The speaker also describes his attitude of determination and wilfullness. All of these elements contribute to showing how commited Ahab was to his mission.

1.   <span>A. strength

The simile that likens his shoulders to a full sail shows the force that must be exerted to plough the field. A "globed" sail would be rounded because of the powerful winds blowing against it. Just as the wind's, resistance is transformed into something useful by moving the boat forwards; his father's exertion transforms the land into fields that grow crops of food. While ploughing the land in this way would certainly require knowledge and skill, the simile does not refer to these qualities.

2. </span><span>D. "Mapping the furrow exactly" </span>

Reference to the father's expertise is indicated by his "mapping the furrow" and doing so "exactly."

ira [324]
The best answer is A) Reverent

This excerpt refers to the American Revolution (Columbia was often a way of referring to America at the time). The tone is reverent, meaning admiring or adoring. She describes the celestial choir enthroned in realms of light, which paints an almost god-like picture of the Revolution and the values that the Americans were fighting for.
