Answer 1

The provided literary excerpts depict the sea's ordeal, including a storm, the idea of being stranded, and survival attempts, with themes of human struggle and nature's indifference. The passages do not directly answer the specific multiple-choice questions given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpts provided seem to be from a literary work describing the trials and experiences of characters who are dealing with the challenges posed by the sea. The details hint at a storm, the concept of being stranded, and the struggle for survival that includes an eventual rescue.

The struggle against nature and the will to survive are prominent themes throughout the passages. The specific answers to the multiple-choice questions cannot be provided as the excerpts do not contain direct information to answer the questions from 'Selection 1' and 'Selection 2.' It appears that the passages are from a novel or a story, rather than being directly linked to the multiple-choice questions posted.
