Question

seafaring people are odd in that way—i dont mean in their ignorance of swimming, though, to be sure, the average sailor is seldom a swimmer. theyre so —how shall i express it?—so unenterprising. in the midst of adventure and romance they are stirred by no recognition either of the adventures or the romantic. i was a city - bred youngster, who had never been out of hail of the homeland before, and i possessed more enterprise in my little finger than that far - travelled captain had in the whole of his weather - worn, hulking lump of a carcass.

use the passage below to answer the question.

which inference is best supported by the details in the passage?

(1 point)

the ships captain has traveled widely.

most people who travel by sea cannot swim.

harborough grew up in a city.

harborough feels he is superior to others.

Explanation:

The text mentions "Captain had in the whole of his weather - travelled..." which implies wide travel. The other options have no support in the text. "I was a city - bred youngster..." doesn't support "Harborough grew up in a city" as it's about the author. There's no mention of superiority (Harborough feels he is superior to others) or swimming ability (Most people who travel by sea cannot swim).

Answer:

The ship’s Captain has traveled widely.
