Analyze this sentence from the story: "He tried to coerce his mind into thinking of it, but the mind was dominated at this time

by the muscles, and the muscles said they did not care." What does the word coerce mean here? Why was there a need to "coerce his mind"?

Coerce means to do something by using force or threats, he wants to force himself into thinking of it but could not achieve it because his muscles were preventing it.

In this case, coerce<span> means the man had to force himself to do something against his own will. At this particular juncture in the story, all four men were exhausted. Even though the men were near land, the correspondent, being the cynic that he was, still believed that there was more yet to endure. His muscles had been overworked to the point where death seemed to be an equally good option to having to swim toward land.</span>

Refer to the outline below.
valkas [14]

The correct answer is paper plates.

  1. This question could be simple to answer if you look closely at the answer choices. Cooking and shelter are the same topic, I and II, respectively. They are the main topics of this list.
  2. Shopping list does not exist in this outline, even though we assume this is a shopping list.
  3. Paper plates is the last option remaining. And it is a detail of the outline because it is an item in the bigger section/sub-heading "Non-food items", which is in the main topic "Cooking".

Is there a difference between getting older and growing up? Explain.
Hoochie [10]

Getting older objectively only has to do with chronological age. Growing up is more of a subjective term because it could mean an increase in age, an increase in maturity, or a change of personality.

I hope this helps.
