Which line in this excerpt from “the gun” by philip k. dic is an example of euphemism? the captain peered into the eyepiece of the telescope. he adjusted the focus quickly. "it was an atomic fission we saw, all right," he said presently. he sighed and pushed the eyepiece away. "any of you who wants to look may do so. but it's not a pretty sight." "let me look," tance the archeologist said. he bent down to look, squinting. "good lord! " he leaped violently back, knocking against dorle, the chief navigator. "why did we come all this way, then? " dorle asked, looking around at the other men. "there's no point even in landing. let's go back at once." "perhaps he's right," the biologist murmured. "but i'd like to look for myself, if i may." he pushed past tance and peered into the sight.

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.
