One major idea in the memoir "No Gumption" by Russell Baker is that of adaptability. In this excerpt, his mother is convinced that the author's future is that of business, and she pushes him towards trying harder and harder to succeed. Although he tries to do it for a long time, he does not have the talent or the interest necessary to succeed in that area. The mother, however, is adaptable, as she changes her mind in light of new evidence. When the author's teacher praises his work, his mother examines it, and when she agrees, she realizes that maybe her son's skills are better used in a different area. This is exemplified by the line: "Nothing more was said about it immediately, but a new idea had taken life in her mind". This sentence shows that the author's mother can reexamine her assumptions and create new ideas based on new evidence, which is the mark of adaptability.

Additionally, in the four and last sentence, the narrator or author adds she remembered this moment many years when she faced a similar situation while being at college. Considering the narrator states she faced a similar situation but does not explain what the situation was about the line that follows sentence 4 and that would strengthen the reflection of Kara will need to explain the situation she faced at college and how this situation compares to the behavior of being honest shown by her brother in the past. Thus, the sentence that would complete this text by strengthening the reflection of the author is "After unintentionally breaking my roommate’s treasured figurine, I squared my shoulders and took responsibility for my actions, much like my little brother had done all those years ago" as this section explains the experience the author lived and the way she decided to take responsibility and be honest in the same way her brother did in the past.
