Part A How does the narrator of “A Cub Pilot” initially feel about his own abilities? A He feels that he needs more supervision

than he receives. B He is very confident in his overall ability to pilot a steamboat. C He is sometimes worried that he will misjudge the river’s depth. D He thinks that he knows the river better than any of the pilots do. Which statement from “A Cub Pilot” best supports the answer in Part A? “My imagination began to construct dangers out of nothing, and they multiplied faster than I could keep the run of them.” “Judgment is a matter of brains, and a man must start with a good stock of that article, or he will never succeed as a pilot.” “If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.” “All [Mr. Bixby] ever did was to take the wheel on particularly bad nights or in particularly bad crossings . . . and collect the wages.”

Answer:

D. He thinks that he knows the river better than any of the pilots do.

“If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.”

Explanation:

"Cub Pilot" is from the novel "Life On The Mississippi" by Mark Twain. It tells the experience of Samuel Clemens/ Mark Twain as a steersman under his chief Mr. Bixby.

When Mr. Bixby asked Mark to navigate the boat while he went below for a while, he felt confident of doing it without supervision. His confidence in his ability and knowledge is on the high and he felt sure of it. He <u>thinks that there is no other pilot that knows the river better than him.</u> This is supported by his admission<em> </em><u><em>"If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt."</em></u><u> </u>

The call of the wild quote and narrative
erica [24]

Answer:

This quotation is from the beginning of Chapter I, “Into the Primitive,” and it defines Buck’s life before he is kidnapped and dragged into the harsh world of the Klondike. As a favored pet on Judge Miller’s sprawling California estate, Buck lives like a king—or at least like an “aristocrat” or a “country gentleman,” as London describes him. In the civilized world, Buck is born to rule, only to be ripped from this environment and forced to fight for his survival. The story of The Call of the Wild is, in large part, the story of Buck’s climb back to the top after his early fall from grace. He loses one kind of lordship, the “insular” and “sated” lordship into which he is born, but he gains a more authentic kind of mastery in the wild, one that he wins by his own efforts rather than by an accident of birth.
