Select the correct text in the passage. Naturalist writers used setting to enhance the theme of unpredictability in nature. Whlch four phrases In this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The
Open Boat" reflect the mercilessness of the sea?
None of them knew the color of the sky. Their eyes glanced level, and were fastened upon the waves that swept toward them. These waves
were of the hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white, and all of the men knew the colors of the sea. The horizon narrowed
and widened, and dipped and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust up in points like rocks.
Many a man ought to have a bathtub larger than the boat which here rode upon he sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously
abrupt and tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small-boat navigation.

Explanation:

The four phrases above show the mercilessness of the sea.

The constant movement of the water is what caused the horizon to narrow and widen as well as to dip and rise with edges that seemed jagged with waves which had the appearance of rocks thrust up.

The merciless sea also created waves that looked barbarously tall which would be dangerous to many sea-faring vessels.

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange. 

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith
