Answer» sage has been edited and rewritten below: 1) The next morning I found myself somewhat refreshed, but I was extremely hungry.[ It shows two contrasting situations and thereby the conjunction 'but' is the most appropriate one. 'And' is used to merely join two factual statements. ] 2) As soon as it became light enough for me to see my surroundings,I noticed that I was NEAR a large ship.[ The sentence is in the past tense and so we need to use the past FORM of the verb 'become'. The relative pronoun 'my' should be used as the author is stating the facts in direct speech. The word 'his' is used to refer to a THIRD person. 'Nearly' is an adverb but in this case it indicates a position and therefore, the PREPOSITION 'near' needs to be used]3) It seemed to be unloading a cargo of pig iron. [ The article to be used should be indefinite as it doesn't refer to ANYTHING specific. Definite articles such as 'the' can be used only to refer to something specific].
