It was a beautiful summer day at the beach, and Alan and I were playing in the sand. I was building my first sandcastle of the day when something shiny appeared in the water. I squinted and observed a grotesque, beady-eyed creature gazing back at me. Its body, wrapped in calloused skin, crawled along the top of the water and plunged into the depths. For a moment, I was so petrified that I forgot to breathe. Read the following paragraph from The Diver.

It was a gorgeous summer day at the beach, and Alan and Sasha were spending the day in the sand. Alan and his friends were sandboarding on the sand dunes, and Sasha was building a sandcastle. Out in the ocean, a scuba diver bobbed in the water, fixing his goggles. Sasha caught sight of the scuba diver and froze in fright. The scuba diver swam forward and went underwater. Sasha sprang to her feet.

"Alan, there is something in the water! Come look!" she shrieked.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?    'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.  look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,  the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'     see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,   the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,   and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover   and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.  'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,  he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.   see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' - - 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.   'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -  o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!   and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,   to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
