Explanation:

The process of inferring in reading involves using key details in a text to deduce something. In the case of the text presented, which explains the life of Picasso and artistic periods, it can be inferred "Picasso's paintings in his Rose Period were more cheerful than those in his Blue Period". This is because the author of the text explains during the Blue Period Piccasso "painted sad-looking people", and focused on the theme of Isolation, which shows the artist's paintings during this period were sad or depressive. On the other hand, in the Rose Period, he focused on pink and rose tones, and also painted acrobats, harlequins, and elements related to the circle and comedy, which shows this period was more cheerful than the previous period, even when the author does not mention this directly.

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.
