Crane chose to present this account in a short story form. Which of the following is an aspect of "The Open Boat” that would be most difficult to convey in a painting depicting the same scene?“These waves were of the hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white.”“These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall.”“His sleeves were rolled over his fat forearms, and the two flaps of his unbuttoned vest dangled as he bent to bail out the boat.”“Thereafter there was something strange in his voice.”

“Thereafter there was something strange in his voice.”

Explanation:

All the other options are descriptions of the appearance of something such as waves or sleeves and so can be conveyed vividly in a painting. What is hard to convey in a painting however, is sound, for the simple reason that paintings cannot speak and any voice heard would be the individual interpretation of the person gazing upon it.

This is why a strangeness in the voice of the character in question would be the most difficult to depict in a painting about the scene in question.

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.
