Answer:

"<em>I open my bag, spread out my little red kayak, and start to  pump it up"</em>

The last line indicated excercebates to the underlying tension in the scene.

Salak had purposed in her mind to journey down the Timbuktu river in Africa.

Prior to this scene, she had been advised severally by her guide who even at this point (which is at the edge of the river) says he is unable to proceed any further. According to the narratives, no man had ever completed neither had any woman.

The odds were not in her favour at all.

The more the guide tries to dissuade her, the more her will crystallizes towards the decision to do so.

Finally, in the scene above, she starts to pump the Kayak (a light frame watertight canoe) in readiness to commence the journey amidst degenerating weather conditions.  

Cheers!

What are the differences between movie acting &amp; stage acting? In your opinion, which is more difficult and why?
Andrei [34K]
In movie acting you can have second chances if you mess up while filming but when your on stage with a full audience if you mess up everyone can see. In my opinion stage acting will be more difficult because you can’t re and act it when there’s an audience.

Read the sentence. A decision was reached by scientists about when the experiment would begin. Which revision changes the senten
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

- Scientists reached a decision about when to begin the experiment.

Explanation:

An Active voice is defined as the grammatical construction in which the subject itself performs the action and acts upon the verb.

The given sentence is in the passive voice as the subject i.e. 'Scientists' is receiving the action and being acted upon by the verb and thus, the object and action are emphasized in the sentence. In order to convert it into the active voice, the subject needs to perform the action that the verb states as mentioned in the above sentence so that it follows the pattern of 'subject(scientists) + verb(reached) + object(a decision).'
