A grumpy old man once lived beside a river, and every night, he would wash his gold in the water. He never bought anything with his money—not even a birthday present for his granddaughter. He kept his gold in a fancy box until it was time to take it to the river. One day, he was busy washing his gold in the river when it slipped out of his hands. He tried to catch it, but the gold was quickly carried away by the river. “Oh, no!” he cried. Knowing not what else to do, he went home without his gold. When he got to his house, a farmer was waiting for him by his front door. The farmer was holding the old man’s gold in his hands. “I came to return this gold to you,” said the farmer. The old man was very surprised. “Why would you give this gold back to me?” he asked. The farmer smiled at the old man. “All you have is this gold to make you happy. I have lots of friends and family to love me and make me happy,” the farmer said. He gave the old man the gold and went on his way, singing a happy song. 1 What would be the best way to describe this piece of literature?

i cannot see a paragraph to answer the question

"solitude is an inner concept rather than an outward one" is the statement among the choices given that  would be included in a summary of paragraph one of society and solitude. the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". i hope the answer you.

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.
