Which four parts of this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" describe the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity? A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that A. "after successfully surmounting one wave" you discover that B. "there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective" in the way of swamping boats. In a ten-foot dinghy one can get an idea of C. "the resources of the sea in the line of waves" that is not probable to the average experience, which is never at sea in a dinghy. As each salty wall of water approached D. "it shut all else from the view of the men" in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine E. "that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean" F. "the last effort of the grim water"

The correct option is B.

The excerpt given above is talking about the ocean waves and the havoc they are capable of causing. The author described how difficult it can be for sailors to handle these waves. The statement that particularly talks about the hostility of the waves is the one given in option B, which states that each of the ocean waves is always anxious to inflict some damages.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
