50 POINTS!!!!!!
By Victoria Mary Sackville-West

When little lights in little ports come out,
Quivering down through water with the stars,
And all the fishing fleet of slender spars
Range at their moorings, veer with tide about;

When race of wind is stilled and sails are furled,
And underneath our single riding-light
The curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely white,
And slumbrous waters pool a slumbrous world;

Then, and then only, have I thought how sweet
Old age might sink upon a windy youth,
Quiet beneath the riding-light of truth,
Weathered through storms, and gracious in retreat.

Which of the following is true of the text in bold?

A. It explicitly describes part of a ship.
B. It explicitly describes the glow of the sun.
C. It implies that a darkness is coming.
D. It implies that someone has told a lie.

The answer is "It explicitly describes part of a ship" or option B. If you read the words "the curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely white" you will see that the deck is part of a ship and when water gets on the deck of a ship and then the sun shines down on the deck it makes the deck of the ship glisten with a palely white color so the bold words from the poem is describing the ship.

Hope this helps.

The part of the ship being describe is the deck. Note that the bolded line in question is: "The curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely white."

Here, the speaker says that the black deck was now palely white. So, he explicitly described the deck of the ship.
