Read the following excerpt from a speech: My fellow citizens, the children at the local school have
unsafe routes to school. They must regularly dodge cars,
cross dangerous intersections, and brave barking dogs just
to walk to school. It is almost as though we are trying to
encourage them to be less healthy by depending on their
parents to drive them even the short distance to school
each morning.
By ending the speech this way, what reaction does the speaker most likely
expect from the audience?
A. To consider a new way of thinking about an old problem
B. To consider the message they are sending children
c. To understand that less important problems are distracting
D. To have hope that the situation can be fixed

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.
