I don’t have the passage, so I can’t pick the correct choice confidently. Please paste the passage (or tell me the source and quote) and I’ll pick the best answer and show the line(s) that support it.

If you want a quick strategy while you find the passage:
- “Most clearly suggest” means choose the answer that is directly stated or very strongly implied by the text.
- Scan for explicit statements about the narrator’s origins (birth, parents, family tradition).
- Eliminate choices that add details not mentioned (e.g., a stormy birth) or that are broader than what the text supports (e.g., “both sides” if only one parent’s seafaring is described).
