Answer: The setting of “The Colomber” is the sea. The sea is a spooky setting because it has so many unexplored regions, too deep for most man-made machines to explore. It is also spooky that the colomber wanders the ocean because the oceans are all interconnected. Stefano will always be on some continent surrounded by ocean. Although he may be far away from the edge of shore, he’s always surrounded. This enforces the theme in the story that one cannot escape one’s fears. No matter where Stefano is, the lure and the presence of the ocean (which is home to the creature he most fears) is always waiting for him.

Are there answer choices? If not, Just reading over this passage for the first time, It seems the narrator could be describing something very majestic, like a statue built in the ocean, of a god or something. it seems as though the narrator personifies this statue as though the statue itself is a character and has feelings, maybe even something to hide. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation: Being on a boat during a hurricane may not sound so safe. Some would say you could have better luck in a car than a boat. Well, it is actually safer to be on a boat than a car for different reasons.
If you are on the water and know that there is a hurricane coming you would be better sheltered on your boat rather than finding somewhere on shore. When on a boat, there are windows, doors and hatches. Make sure you seal them up and make sure to shut off your boat's fuel lines. Once you do, and want to make sure that it is even more secured; take two anchors and tie the boat up and position it in the direction of the prevailing winds. If you make sure that all major factors of the boat like windows, doors, and hatches are all locked up and the boat it secured, then the boat will make it during the hurricane.
In addition, being in a car is not the smartest thing to do. It is risky if you do the following.
- Don't go outside
- Don't drive
- Don't' go near exposed windows or glass.
It is pretty obvious not to go outside for safety reasons. There are strong winds, heavy rain, and threat of lightning that make going outside a risky proposition. Don't drive. When the wind speed is high you car would not make it through, you may not either. Your car could become a projectile, or even damaged by the wind-blown debris during a hurricane.
In conclusion, being on a boat is much safer than a car for the reasons above and keep in mind all the things that can happen if you go out during a hurricane.
