In the context of the excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson, the word "hoist" means to lift. This can be inferred from the actions described in the text, such as running to fetch something, hearing a loud fall, and laying the captain on his bed where his head fell back as if fainting. The correct answer based on this context is: B. lift The word "hoist" fits the description of lifting or raising something, which aligns with the actions taking place in the excerpt. The character is moving objects and helping the captain, indicating a sense of lifting or raising items in the scene.
