an’s power?
"Hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences."
"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.
"If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible."

Answer:

"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."

Explanation:

These sentences are the ones that demonstrate that the White family do not believe in the power of the talisman. In these lines, we learn that Mrs. White compares the story to the Arabian Nights. This implies that the woman believes the tale to be as fictitious as a fairytale or a legend. Moreover, Mrs. White asks for four pairs of hands for herself in a mocking way. This supports the idea that she does not believe in the power of the talisman.

Columbus sailed a latitude that he thought would bring him to what country?
salantis [7]

Answer: Japan

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus may have been the first recorded European to reach the Americas but this was not his original target. Columbus had wanted to get to Japan and from there, Asia and it never even occurred to him that the Americas might be in the way of this.

So he sailed on a latitude that he thought would take him to Japan which was why he mistook Cuba for China and Hispaniola for Japan when his voyage reached those islands.
