Select the correct text in the passage.
in "the open boat," stephen crane shows that man projects his own fears on nature, while nature remains indifferent. which two parts of the excerpt reflect this theme?
canton flannel gulls flew near and far. sometimes they sat down on the sea, near patches of brown seaweed that rolled on the waves with a movement like carpets on a line in a gale. the birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dingey, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes. at these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone. one came, and evidently decided to alight on the top of the captain's head. the bird flew parallel to the boat and did not circle, but made short sidelong jumps in the air in chicken-fashion. his black eyes were wistfully fixed upon the captain's head. "ugly brute," said the oiler to the bird. "you look as if you were made with a jack-knife." the cook and the correspondent swore darkly at the creature. the captain naturally wished to knock it away with the end of the heavy painter; but he did not dare do it, because anything resembling an emphatic gesture would have capsized this freighted boat, and so with his open hand, the captain gently and carefully waved the gull away. after it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow grewsome and ominous.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
