Later, when all three children were safe on shore and the Coast Guard had cleared the beach, Simon and Hilary told reporters tha

t they had heard a horn and loud cheers as they reached the small raft with a very frightened Xavier huddled inside, sobbing in terror. They were not sure what the commotion was; they were focused on bringing the boy safely to shore. "Hey kid," Hillary remembers calling out, "It's OK. Don't worry. We'll help you," just as a strong wave crashed into the raft, spilling its occupant into the ocean. Flailing and screaming, Xavier disappeared briefly beneath the waves, but Simon dove beneath the surface to grab him as Hillary clung desperately to his board. They helped the little boy onto Hillary's board and together the trio paddled toward the beach. By this time, stated the Captain of the Florida, "the cutter had reached the shore, and two Coast Guard members swam with life buoys to meet the heroes."

Answer:

Accorthing to this text, the correct option is B: "Flailing and Screaming, Xavier disappeared(...)

In this sentence we find words like "flailing" and "screaming" that indicate that Xavier was afraid. This is written in an impicit way, because it doesn't say that he was afraid but rather that he was waving his hands and screaming; these actions suggest that he was asking for help, and that he was desperate and afraid, so the idea of fear is suggested but not explicitly said.

Describe two negative events in edgar Allan joe life?
erik [133]

Poe suffered from recurrent depression, suggesting a bipolar disorder, as well as alcohol and drug abuse, which in fact led to his death from complications related to alcoholism. Various hypotheses were put forward, including Wernicke's encephalopathy. Poe's desire to write and his attraction to art and culture seems natural given his parents both worked as actors in the theatre. His father abandoned the family a year after Edgar was born and his mother died a year later, leaving him orphaned. Though his foster family never formally adopted him and were always detached, he remained with them until his early adulthood, with their begrudging support of his desire for college studies despite frequent clashes about financial obligations.
