Read the passage: The old fishing boat groaned as if it had a memory of every storm it had weathered, and Captain Lourdes listened to its complaints the way a doctor listens to a patient's pulse. "She tells me when the sea is lying," Lourdes said, tapping the hull, "and tonight she says the calm is a fraud." What does the figurative language in the passage mainly suggest?

The boat is literally alive and capable of speech. Lourdes has a deep, almost intuitive relationship with the boat and reads the sea through it. The boat is too old to be seaworthy. Lourdes distrusts all weather forecasts.

Lourdes has a deep, almost intuitive relationship with the boat and reads the sea through it.
