Suppose a man works six or seven days a week in a factory, trying to support his family, but never seems to be able to make ends meet. (2) If he analyzed his situation rationally, he would probably blame the well-to-do generally, and his employers specifically, for failing to pay him an adequate wage. (3) But these people have the power to cut off his income; to oppose them openly would be self-destructive. (4) He could also blame himself for his financial problems, but this too makes him uncomfortable. (5) Instead, he looks to the immigrants who have begun working in his factory. (6) He doesn’t really know them, but he suspects they’re willing to work for low wages and that many other immigrants are eager to take his job. (7) By a process of twisted logic, he blames these people for his poverty. (8) Soon he is exchanging rumors about “them” with his cronies and supporting efforts to close the border.

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.
