With words such as dead, blood, treacherous, savage, prey, murdered, and strangled, the author creates a picture of the ocean that is a) calm and cool. b) rough and stormy. c) smooth and silky. d) cruel and bloodthirsty.

its D cruel and blood thirsty. pretty obvious

The correct answer is "D".

A metaphor is a word applied to an object to which it is not literary applicable. These words "dead", "blood", "treacherous", "savage", "prey", "murdered", and "strangled", are being used as metaphors in the description of the ocean by the author. In other words, he is trying to transmit the message to the reader that this particular ocean is far from safe and the chances of navigating past it unharmed are very low.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
