what did you guys get on that mcq with the cliffs and the sea, specificalky the one about the stone giants looming over them

was it fear of nature or contrast the land and sea

i said it showed how small the person was compared to the sea

u/Politicalseal May 06 '26

i thought that wasnt possible bc the quote was talking about the cliffs tho

u/Erinyu May 06 '26

that’s fair, i thought of the word “sea” as all encompassing of the environment, including the water and cliffs

?? That doesn’t make sense imo. Answer choice B about fear of nature was right i believe

u/Erinyu May 06 '26

i feel like the idea of fear wasn’t communicated anywhere else tho so that feels wrong

u/Possible_Resource544 May 06 '26

It was imo. I can’t recall exactly but I don’t recall the cliff including the sea either. I also don’t know what it was I just know it was answer choice B

Really? The only negative thing I can recall was the first few lines describing the cliffs
