Answer:

the passengers and Twain perceive the river in very different ways.

Explanation:

Right after it, Twain continues: <em>"Now when I had mastered the language of this water and had come to know every trifling feature that bordered the great river as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet, I had made a valuable acquisition."</em>

He sees the river in a different way and much is to be told from what the river shows, it seems, but passengers are not able to see what he sees because they do not share the same knowledge.

Learning to sail is challenging and exhilarating it is also not the easiest thing to do.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

This is a run-on sentence.

It's two sentences. The first sentence modifies the second, so, in that sense, is a misplaced modifier, but it is not a phrase within a sentence, it is a different sentence. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (also known as complete sentences) are connected improperly.

Tom [10]

Answer: He suggests that the British will continue growing in strength.

Explanation:

Patrick Henry acknowledged and bemoaned the fact that many colonists believed that they were too weak to fight against Britain.

He believed however, that to sit around and wait and hope will only make them weaker as opposed to the British who are strong and will keep getting stronger as they raise more troops to fight against the colonists.

He therefore argued that they should use the resources that God had given them to fight and defeat the British.
