Question

A subject is the topic of a literary work, while a theme is the author’s statement or perspective about the topic. Which of these lines from Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat” best reflects the subject of the excerpt?


In disjointed sentences the cook and the correspondent argued as to the
difference between a life-saving station and a house of refuge. The cook had
said: "There's a house of refuge just north of the Mosquito Inlet Light, and
as soon as they see us, they'll come off in their boat and pick us up."
"As soon as who see us?" said the correspondent.
"The crew," said the cook.
"Houses of refuge don't have crews," said the correspondent. "As I
understand them, they are only places where clothes and grub are stored for
the benefit of shipwrecked people. They don't carry crews."
"Oh, yes, they do," said the cook.
"No, they don't," said the correspondent.
"Well, we're not there yet, anyhow," said the oiler, in the stern.
"Well," said the cook, "perhaps it's not a house of refuge that I'm
thinking of as being near Mosquito Inlet Light. Perhaps it's a life-saving
station."
"We're not there yet," said the oiler, in the stern.

As the boat bounced from the top of each wave, the wind tore through the
hair of the hatless men, and as the craft plopped her stern down again the
spray slashed past them. The crest of each of these waves was a hill, from
the top of which the men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse;
shining and wind-riven. It was probably splendid. It was probably glorious,
this play of the free sea, wild with lights of emerald and white and amber.

Answer 1

Bruh the answer is 2. "Well, we're not there yet, anyhow," said the oiler, in the stern. cause C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 with C++'s predecessor "C with Classes".When compared to C++, C is a subset of C++.C++ is a superset of C. C++ can run most of C code while C cannot run C++ code.C supports procedural programming paradigm for code development.C++ supports both procedural and object oriented programming paradigms; therefore C++ is also called a hybrid language.C does not support object oriented programming; therefore it has no support for polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance.Being an object oriented programming language C++ supports polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance.In C (because it is a procedural programming language), data and functions are separate and free entities.In C++ (when it is used as object oriented programming language), data and functions are encapsulated together in form of an object. For creating objects class provides a blueprint of structure of the object.In C, data are free entities and can be manipulated by outside code. This is because C does not support information hiding. In C++, Encapsulation hides the data to ensure that data structures and operators are used as intended.C, being a procedural programming, it is a function driven language. While, C++, being an object oriented programming, it is an object driven language.C does not support function and operator overloading.C++ supports both function and operator overloading.C does not allow functions to be defined inside structures.In C++, functions can be used inside a structure.C does not have namespace feature.C++ uses NAMESPACE which avoid name collisions. A namespace is a declarative region that provides a scope to the identifiers (the names of types, functions, variables, etc) inside it. Namespaces are used to organize code into logical groups and to prevent name collisions that can occur especially when your code base includes multiple libraries. All identifiers at namespace scope are visible to one another without qualification. Identifiers outside the namespace can access the members by using the fully qualified name for each identifier. C uses functions for input/output. For example scanf and printf.C++ uses objects for input output. For example cin and cout.C does not support reference variables.C++ supports reference variables.C has no support for virtual and friend functions.C++ supports virtual and friend functions.C provides malloc() and calloc() functions for dynamic memory allocation, and free() for memory de-allocation.C++ provides new operator for memory allocation and delete operator for memory de-allocation.C does not provide direct support for error handling (also called exception handling)C++ provides support for exception handling. Exceptions are used for "hard" errors that make the code incorrect.
