Answer 2

The correct answer is "He surfaces and then disappears" Herman Melville’s "Moby-Dic k", is a classical novel about obsession and revenge against the whale "Moby-Dic k" for whom the narrator lost his leg. The first encounter of the whale with the Pequod resulted in a brief appearance of the beast, which led to narrator's frustration.
