The answer is B: Although the sea may appear beautiful, it can be treacherous and ruthless.

Explanation for each option:

A. Even the power of nature cannot protect us from evil.

  • This statement suggests that nature has a protective power that is ultimately ineffective against evil. While this could be a theme in some contexts, it does not directly address the dual nature of the sea as both beautiful and dangerous, which is more likely the focus of the poem.

B. Although the sea may appear beautiful, it can be treacherous and ruthless.

  • This statement captures the duality of the sea, highlighting its deceptive beauty and underlying danger. It reflects a common theme in literature where nature, particularly the sea, is depicted as both alluring and perilous. This is the best fit for the theme of the poem.

C. The nightmares that live in the sea of our subconscious are very powerful.

  • This statement leans more towards a psychological interpretation, focusing on the subconscious mind rather than the physical characteristics of the sea. While it could be a valid theme in a different context, it does not directly address the nature of the sea itself.

D. Women are like the ocean in that they have the potential for both good and evil.

  • This statement introduces a comparison between women and the ocean, suggesting a duality in both. However, unless the poem explicitly makes this comparison, it is less likely to be the best reflection of the theme. The focus here is more on the sea itself rather than a metaphorical comparison.

In summary, option B is the most accurate reflection of the theme of the poem, as it directly addresses the sea's dual nature of being both beautiful and dangerous.

A chemist working as a safety inspector finds an unmarked bottle in a lab cabinet. A note on the door of the cabinet says the cabinet is used to store bottles of acetone, diethylamine, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl acetate. The chemist plans to try to identify the unknown liquid by measuring the density and comparing to known densities. First, from his collection of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the chemist finds the following information: liquid density acetone 0.79 g/cm^3 diethylamine 0.71 g/cm^3 chloroform 1.5 g/cm^3 carbon tetrachloride 1.6 g/cm^3 methyl acetate 0.93 g/cm^3 Next, the chemist measures the volume of the unknown liquid as 0.939 L and the mass of the unknown liquid as 663.8.

Durante uma excursão em uma região montanhosa, os alunos observaram a formação de neblina ao amanhecer, um fenômeno comum em áreas com grande variação de temperatura entre o dia e a noite. A temperatura durante a noite havia caído consideravelmente, e a umidade relativa do ar estava alta. Quando o sol começou a aquecer a superfície, a neblina desapareceu rapidamente, revelando uma paisagem clara. Os alunos foram desafiados a identificar a fase da matéria da neblina e os processos termodinâmicos que causaram sua formação e desaparecimento, considerando as condições ambientais. A neblina observada é um exemplo de qual fase da matéria e quais processos físicos estão envolvidos em sua formação e desaparecimento? Alternativas a) Fase líquida em suspensão; condensação e sublimação com a variação de temperatura. b) Fase gasosa; condensação durante o resfriamento noturno e fusão ao amanhecer. c) Fase líquida em suspensão: condensação durante a noite e evaporação com o aquecimento solar. d) Fase sólida, sublimação durante a noite e condensação ao amanhecer.
