PLEASE HELP Which concept does Paragraph 3 of the speech develop?

A. Great Britain is no match for the colonies in a military conflict

B. Great Britain's actions should cause the colonies to feel hopeful about their future.

C. Great Britain may appear to be preparing for war, but O this can be prevented if people are willing to compromise.

D. Great Britain's actions indicate that they are O preparing to use force to control the colonies, but this fact is being ignored.

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.

i cannot see any of the options
