Which of the following is not a reason why the crew in the barge was near death? a. lack of food b. lack of fresh water c. lack of activity d. pounding of stomy seas

I don't know this story but you can use process of elimination with this question.

You can be near death if you are lacking food and water. You can also be near death if the stormy seas are bad enough to sink your ship.

But, lack of activity is not a near death experience.

Hope this helps. :)

explanation:

shakespeare was famous for writing in iambic pentameter, which is a specific way of rhyming sonnet lines in ten syllables. there are also forms of unrhymed iambic pentameter, as in macbeth, with the noble characters.
