3.) The comparison between ships and gulls adds to the development of the following passage (paragraphs 4-5) mainly by explaining that.
We watched until the boats became a row of tiny white gulls on the horizon. Our vigil would end when
they slipped over the edge and disappeared. You had to squint against the glare to keep them sighted,
and with every blink you expected the last white speck to be gone.
But this time they didn't disappear. They kept floating out there, suspended, as if the horizon had
finally become what it always seemed to be from shore: the sea's limit beyond which no man could
sail. They floated a while, then they began to grow, tiny gulls becoming boats again, a white armada
cruising toward us.
A. the boats are harmless
B. the boats normally become small-looking before they disappear beyond the horizon
C. gulls usually occupy the horizon when the boats disappear
D. government ships are not intimidating in the distance
