Stop the presses! Jared Atkins has a rash! The world is coming to an end. Actually, my sanity and patience are coming to an end. Last week, Mr. Atkins appeared in court trying to sue Kalanana Florist because a bouquet of flowers he purchased gave him a rash on his hands and wrists. Instead of buying some medicated itching cream at the drugstore for $3, he hired a lawyer and went to court, wasting the valuable time and efforts of our justice system. The tone of this passage can be best described as
OA. sarcastic.
OB. yearning.
OC. disheartened.
OD. envious.​

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.
