A. that he had nothing to show for all his trouble
B. that despite his defeat, he is relieved to be home
C. wondering why the boy wasn't there to meet him
D. how he was going to carry his gear all by himself

Answer 1

B. that despite his defeat, he is relieved to be home

Just did the quiz and got it right have a great day.

Answer 2

In the text, it is said that he got to the shore and then did everything possible to carry the mast with him, besides, everyone was sleeping so nobody could help him.

Therefore, the option that better fits with the story is option D, as he attempted to carry the gear by himself several times, despite failing to do so and falling asleep in the process.
