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>
