What did Ishmael survive in Moby Dick?
A Shark Attack
A Haunted Island
A Shipwreck
A Murderous Plot
The correct answer is: A Shipwreck
Ishmael did not survive a shark attack (A) as he was on a whaling ship and not in the water. He also did not survive on a haunted island (B) as that is not a major plot point in the novel. Additionally, there was no murderous plot (D) against Ishmael. The main event that Ishmael survives in Moby Dick is a shipwreck (C), as he is one of the few crew members to make it out alive after the ship is destroyed by the infamous white whale.
