B.“The master leans out over the water, holding the reins of ten to twelve cormorants in one hand and using his other hand to stop the tethers from tangling.” (paragraph 3)

C.“As the river isn’t very wide, and the fishing is conducted in quite a short stretch, you might get a better view by watching from the banks, but most people choose to go on a boat anyway.” (paragraph 4)

D.“To keep the spectators entertained until the fishing begins, a dancing boat travels up and down the river carrying women dressed in kimono who perform traditional dances.” (paragraph 5)

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.
