Lines 372–377: what contrast is in the final paragraph? how does the contrast between what the author sees and what he smells relate to his purpose?

text:
grainger had brought a dozen small glass bottles from the lab.
after he opened each bottle, i dipped a fragrance testing filter into it.
the filters were long white strips of paper designed to absorb aroma
chemicals without producing off-notes. before placing the strips of
paper before my nose, i closed my eyes. then i inhaled deeply, and
one food after another was conjured from the glass bottles. i smelled
fresh cherries, black olives, sautéed onions, and shrimp. grainger’s
most remarkable creation took me by surprise. after closing my eyes,
i suddenly smelled a grilled hamburger. the aroma was uncanny,
almost miraculous. it smelled like someone in the room was flipping
burgers on a hot grill. but when i opened my eyes, there was just a
narrow strip of white paper and a smiling flavorist.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
