Read this excerpt from “Sea Fever” by John Masefield. And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking, Which statement best describes how Masefield creates a hopeful mood in the excerpt?

"And a grey dawn breaking" because grey could be reffered to as darkness and misery. But as it says "grey dawn breaking" could mean the start of the sunrise is a new element of hope.


I hope this helps!
