Harbor lights

One position on the meaning of harbor lights in two readings follows from imagery analysis. Repeated harbor lights represent the narrator's hope of returning. The lights appear whenever she imagines home. They also mark dangerous rocks. Accordingly, the claim should be evaluated at the degree of certainty actually stated. The relationship can be evaluated from the explicitly stated claims.

Text 2

Harbor lights

Evidence developed through syntax analysis supports another position on the meaning of harbor lights in two readings. Changes in sentence rhythm make the lights a warning as well as a promise. Short clauses cluster when the boat approaches shore. The hopeful association remains. Accordingly, any response based on this account must preserve its stated degree of certainty. The relationship can be evaluated from the explicitly stated claims.

Based on the texts, the authors of both texts would most likely agree with which statement?
