If two people are bickering, which of the following must be true? Base your answer on the meaning of bickering. A. They are having a minor disagreement.
B. They are enjoying spending time together.
C. They are having a serious and intense discussion.
D. They are playing a game of questions and answers.

Bickering means to fight, or get in an argument. Most times, arguments start because people had a disagreement. It wouldn’t be B, because why would people argue if they are having fun. The best answer would be A, because most arguments start from a disagreement.

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.
