Select the correct answer.
Read the adapted excerpt from Moby D*ck by Herman Melville.
In the year 1820, the ship Essex, run by Captain Pollard of Nantucket, was cruising in the Pacific Ocean. One day she saw spouts, lowered her boats, and gave chase to a shoal of sperm whales. Ere long, several of the whales were wounded; when, suddenly, a very large whale escaping from the boats, issued from the shoal, and bore directly down upon the ship. Dashing his forehead against her hull, he so crushed her in, that in less than “ten minutes” she settled down and fell over. Not a surviving plank of her has been seen since. After the severest exposure, part of the crew reached the land in their boats. Being returned home at last, Captain Pollard once more sailed for the Pacific in command of another ship, but was shipwrecked again upon unknown rocks and breakers; for the second time his ship was utterly lost, and forthwith forswearing the sea, he has never tempted it since.
Which choice provides the best objective summary of the excerpt?
A.
The Essex, while sailing in the Pacific, encounters a very large whale that destroys it. The captain, on a second voyage, loses another ship on unseen rocks and decides to stop going on sea voyages.
B.
Whaling ships sail at extreme risk. The Essex was lost at sea when it was viciously attacked by a whale. On another voyage, another ship ran into rocks and breakers.
C.
A large whale destroys the Essex in 1820. The captain survives and then is most unlucky when he also loses that ship on rocks.
D.
Captain Pollard seems to have had the worst time at sea. First, he loses a ship to a whale crushing it, then he loses his second ship when it hits rocks.

In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone? some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. and as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. they cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come. a. old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job. b. old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens. c. the economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts. d. the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation. reset next
