To determine the correct answer between option (a) "a sense of freedom" and option (d) "a feeling of optimism," we need to closely analyze the given sentences from the text.

In the sentences, the father's boat is described as being made specially for him, using mimosa wood. It is also stated that the boat is sturdy enough to last for twenty or thirty years and just large enough for one person.

From this information, we can infer that the boat represents more than just a mode of transportation for the father; it carries significant personal meaning. The boat's special construction, durability, and size indicate that it was carefully chosen and designed to meet the father's specific requirements.

Considering these details, the most suitable interpretation for the symbol of the father's boat would be (a) "a sense of freedom." The boat, in this context, can be seen as a vessel that provides the father with the opportunity to escape from his daily life, responsibilities, and obligations. It represents a means of exploring new territories, experiencing solitude, and finding personal liberation.

Option (d) "a feeling of optimism" doesn't align as strongly with the given sentences. While the father's boat may evoke positive emotions, such as anticipation and hope, the information provided does not explicitly indicate an association with optimism. Therefore, option (a) is a more accurate interpretation based on the given context.

" ...just large enough for one person.."

Was Dad wanting to be a hermit?
