00:05

jour Brought to you by the ocean What happens to

00:08

a green rock when it's thrown into the red sea

00:13

It gets wet Yeah that's it There was no joke

00:16

there Okay check the following passage from somerset The mom

00:21

nineteen twenty one Trembling of a leaf Yeah okay And

00:26

we're skim And the kid taliban is their life that

00:30

you received flat hospital Go for boating All right well

00:35

the passage compares the pacific ocean Tio what And hear

00:38

the potential answers stop journey Okay well here we go

00:44

We might not be able to get this one if

00:47

we give the passage one of those so so reads

00:50

way always do here where we only pay attention every

00:52

other word So i gotta kind of do another quick

00:55

read through here again Definitely wouldn't fight unless someone were

00:58

punching us while we did it And you know that

01:00

that would hurt Okay let's kick this off by eliminating

01:03

option c The author does talk about the vanished youth

01:07

in the passage but he doesn't compare it to the

01:10

sea In fact he says that the sea makes you

01:12

forget your vanished youth that happens to a lot of

01:15

child tv stars Take a look at the before and

01:17

after here Pretty scary All right It also makes you

01:21

forget you're advancing old age Which explains the amount of

01:24

old people in west palm beach My back Yeah they

01:28

said that a lot down there All right Choice d

01:30

isn't going to cut it either The author never compares

01:33

the journey of ulysses to the sea He only points

01:35

out that ulysses odyssey happened on a c that's similar

01:39

to the pacific ocean Well this is good news for

01:42

west coasters who can't afford a mediterranean cruise According to

01:45

w somerset mom they might as well stay home California

01:50

dream that all right is a little trickier to eliminate

01:53

the speaker Does refer to the ocean is a wilderness

01:56

of waters W o w wow But this is more

02:00

of a description in a comparison Well guess what the

02:02

correct answer is b we're keeping this question is the

02:05

first line of the passage right there The author compares

02:10

the many moods of the pacific ocean to the soul

02:13

of man which is apparently moody and unpredictable too So 00:02:16.818 --> [endTime] just like us now the pacific has issues
