Read the passage from "A Cub Pilot":

I was helpless. I did not know what in the world to do. I was quaking from head to foot, and I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far.
"Quarter twain! Quarter twain! Mark twain!"
We were drawing nine! My hands were in a nerveless flutter. I could not ring a bell intelligibly with them. I flew to the speaking-tube and shouted to the engineer,
"Oh, Ben, if you love me, back her! Quick, Ben! Oh, back the immortal soul out of her!"
I heard the door close gently. I looked around, and there stood Mr. Bixby, smiling a bland, sweet smile. Then the audience on the hurricane-deck sent up a thundergust of humiliating laughter. I saw it all now, and felt meaner than the meanest man in human history. I laid in the lead, set the boat in her marks, came ahead on the engines, and said,
"It was a fine trick to play on an orphn, wasn't* it? I suppose I'll never hear the last of how I was st*pid enough to heave the lead at the head of 66."
"Well, no, you won't, maybe. In fact, I hope you won't; for I want you to learn something by that experience. Didn't you know there was no bottom in that crossing?"
"Yes, sir, I did."

You will write one well-developed paragraph of at least 7-8 sentences.

In your paragraph, identify one major idea in the memoir "A Cub Pilot." Then identify one sentence in the passage that directly develops or refines that main idea. Explain how that sentence develops the main idea you identified.

Make sure you are using specific evidence from the "A Cub Pilot" to support your ideas.

Please and thankyou for those who help!! I'm not the best with this kinda stuff so I really appreciate it! Also, what is written above, is word-for-word what my teacher asks of me, so this is all the info I have to go with the question. Thankyou again! <3

In the poem "we wear the mask," paul laurence dunbar voices his repressed anger and frustration toward american society. he repeats the title phrase three times in the poem, using the words mask and we to show that the first use of the phrase is matter-of-fact. in the second stanza, the statement is followed by a period, which shows resignation. however, at the end of the poem, dunbar almost shouts the phrase defiantly. the mask seems to become something he wears proudly. through this gradual emphasis on the phrase, dunbar could be implying that

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
