The correct answer is “a wealthy businessman and a member of the Parliament.”

The Diary of Samuel Pepys is written from the point of view of a wealthy businessman and a member of the Parliament.

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an English businessman, administrator of the navy, and member of the British Parliament who wrote his memories of every incident that happened in London. He wrote a detailed diary from 1660 to 1669 and included important incidents such as the Great Fire of London and the Great Plague of London. His diary was not published until the 19th century, and now represents a reliable source of information.

The other options of the question were, a) a child in the streets of plague-ravaged London, c) a plagued doctor seeking to a way to cure the disease, and d) a royal informant collecting information for the King.

that is true because that is something they fulfill for their work.

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
