Answer:

Mr. Bixby asks, "Didn't you know there was no bottom in that crossing?"

Explanation:

The short story "A Cub Pilot" is an autobiographical narration about the author Mark Twain's experience during his time working as a cub pilot on a steamboat on the Mississippi River. This story reveals how he gets to learn more about confidence and the need for security for the pilots, in whose hands the lives of all those on board depends.

One instance shows Twain being made to pilot the boat while the captain Mr. Bixby went below. When asked if he could manage it, Twain confidently assured that he can even cross the river<em> "with [his] eyes closed".</em> But when Mr.Bixby questioned him how much water is in the river, he boldly declared he couldn't hit the bottom of the river<em> "with a church steeple."</em> Soon after, he began to falter in his confidence, making mistakes after mistakes which, in the end, Mr. Bixby told him<em> "there was no bottom in [that] crossing"</em>. Mr. Bixby's rather simple yet objective question suggests that if one has enough confidence and belief in oneself, then there is nothing that can shake our belief or be afraid.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is the fourth option</u>.

Write a sound-emphasis paragraph.
Kamila [148]
Here we go .. Let us choose the idea friend as a topic .. sounds cool ha?
Well let us go get done with it ..

 Everything in this world is either changing by itself or being changed. Even abstract concepts changed though time, history itself was told and retold again sometimes with a completely different story. This "change" idea is most accurate when it gets to our everyday life. Everyday we go out for fun. Everyday we try to solve problems. Everyday and every time we are in a state of continuous search for the "better life" when and wherever we are. What is in common amongst all of our everyday searches? Well, as for humans, the complicated humane animals we are supposed to be, there are plenty and plenty of issues in common. Still, undoubtedly the need for company for us has never even been disputed by any wise philosophical authority. The more chemistry we have the better the reactions, and the better the reactions the better the experiences we go through.
 Everyone got special personal preferences that are identical to them like their own fingerprints, let's call it the psycho-mental print or impression of one person. This impression affects not only the way we think or perceive things, events, or sayings, but also the way we get along with others and how we feel towards them. The ideal person for me, for instance, may seem very despicable and unfriendly for another and vice versa. Even the person I may find to be super friendly and we click together may not have the same characteristics like that I may feel in love with. However, I think that there are some basics that must be in one person to be considered an "ideal friend".
 We all should not at all lie, but still there are sometimes that we sort of have to or the situation may deteriorate in a very bad way. Yet, an ideal friend must never lie to their friend, I think. The concept of an ideal friend does not mean that they are supposed to be perfect, but again they should be as close to the person we wish to be as possible. One always looks for what we miss in ourselves when we search for a friend.
 In addition to honesty, an ideal friend is better be always candid and straight to the point when discussing issues together. If we check a thesaurus for the the word ideal, we will find that his word concludes all the blessings of the world of excellency perfection and so on. Hence, I guess that the ideal friend, though rare to fine, but will last beyond a life time to go further as a friend for the family after one person's death. Those they who will never hate me when I do them wrong and cannot love me anymore when I am so good to them for they already love me best, those are ideal friends.
 For every story there is an ending, they say. I am sure that is true except when it comes to true friendships or real love, for among those time does not seem to go as fast as we feel it usually. It rather stops! One minute becomes forever, and one moment becomes the eternity!


Best Luck!
