I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE HELP !Read this excerpt The First Men in the Moon For my own part a vivid dream has come to my help, and I see, almost as plainly as though I had seen it in actual
fact, a blue-lit shadowy disheveled Cavor struggling in the grip of these insect Selenites, struggling ever more
desperately and hopelessly as they press upon him, shouting, expostulating, perhaps even at last fighting, and
being forced backwards step by step out of all speech or sign of his fellows, for evermore into the Unknown-into
the dark, into that silence that has no end
Whích phrase in the passage above helps the reader infer the meaning of the bold word, expostulating?
shadowy discheveled Cavor
dark... Silence that has no end
shouting...perhaps even at last fighting
out of all speech or sign of his fellows

What are we supposed to do? You're not making any sense!

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
