Question

Which excerpt from Life of Pi best represents an internal battle that Pi faces?

A. The last trace I saw of the ship was a patch of oil glimmering on the surface of the water (112).
B. [Orange Juice] came floating on an island of bananas in a halo of light, as lovely as the Virgin Mary (111).
C. You may be astonished that in such a short period of time I could go from weeping over the muffled killing of a flying fish to gleefully bludgeoning to death a dorado (185).
D. After a while I made good use of the lifebuoy. I lifted it out of the water and put the oar through its hole. I worked it down until it was hugging me (107).

Answer 1

Another APEX Answer is:

Sometimes my heart was sinking so fast with anger, desolation, and weariness, I was afraid it would sink to the very bottom of the Pacific...(209)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Pi is fighting himself internally. He has depressing thoughts such as just giving up. He has a choice whether or not to act on those feelings which is the battle itself.
