Read this excerpt from "a cub pilot" from mark
twain's memoir, life on the mississippi.
which line from the excerpt best supports the
idea that twain is panicked?
"then came the leadsman's
sepulchral cry:
i began to climb the wheel like a squirrel,
but i would hardly get the boat started to
port before i would see new dangers on
that side, and away i would spin to the
other, only to find perils accumulating to
starboard and be crazy to get to port
again. then came the leadsman's
sepulchral cry:
"deep four in a bottomless
crossing! "
" would hardly get the boat
started to port before i would see
new dangers on that "
"d-e-e-p four! "
"d-e-e-p four! "
deep four in a bottomless crossing! the
terror of it took my breath away.

"...I would hardly get the boat

started to port before I would see

new dangers on that side..."

I'm not sure if this is right but yeah this is all I could think of

The line from the excerpt that best supports the idea that Twain is panicked is:

"...I would hardly get the boat

started to port before I would see

new dangers on that side..."

Explanation:

These lines represent panic since they are talking about the expectation of something terrible to happen, they foresee the tragedies that could happen to them, and how it says "...I would hardly get the boat started to port before..." shows that it is not only the knowledge of danger but also the impossibility to scape.

comfortable

explanation:

one type of the adjectives is predicate adjective. a predicate adjective is an adjective which follows a linking verb and modifies or refers back to the main subject of that linking verb.

it usually is used just before the noun it modies.

here in this example:

'penguins seem comfortable in the coolest habitats', comfortable is the predicate adjective which follows the linking verb 'seem' and modifies the noun.

i believe that the correct answer is (d) the struggle between tradition and change.
