Question

Crane chose to present this account in a short story form. Which of the following is an aspect of "The Open Boat” that would be most difficult to convey in a painting depicting the same scene?“These waves were of the hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white.”“These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall.”“His sleeves were rolled over his fat forearms, and the two flaps of his unbuttoned vest dangled as he bent to bail out the boat.”“Thereafter there was something strange in his voice.”

Answer 1

Thereafter there was something strange in his voice.”

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: “Thereafter there was something strange in his voice.”

Step-by-step explanation:

All the other options are descriptions of the appearance of something such as waves or sleeves and so can be conveyed vividly in a painting. What is hard to convey in a painting however, is sound, for the simple reason that paintings cannot speak and any voice heard would be the individual interpretation of the person gazing upon it.

This is why a strangeness in the voice of the character in question would be the most difficult to depict in a painting about the scene in question.
