Item 2 Which detail from "A Cub Pilot" helps shape the central idea that if you believe in and trust yourself, no one should be

nirvana33 [79]

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 "with [his] eyes closed". 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 "with a church steeple." Soon after, he began to falter in his confidence, making mistakes after mistakes which, in the end, Mr. Bixby told him "there was no bottom in [that] crossing". 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 correct answer is the fourth option.

What are the effects of using the third-person limited point of view for the narrative? Select True or False for each statement.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to understand what the third-person limited point of view means.

The third-person point of view is when the narrator only relates his or her thoughts, feelings, and knowledge of various situations and other characters, and it is typically the main character. All characters are described using pronouns, such as 'they', 'he', and 'she'.

Now let's answer the given options. Keep in mind that Jerome is the main character of the story:

Readers understand Jerome's development through the perspective of the other characters in the story - False.

The third POV only gives us the development through the perspective of Jerome, not of other characters.

Readers understand Jerome's thoughts and feelings as he works through a conflict - True.

As Jerome is the main character and it is written in the third POV, then yes we can know his thoughts and feelings, and how he works through a conflict.

The story is focused on the central lesson that Jerome learns, rather than the understandings of other characters - True.

Yes, as he is the main character, we learn a lesson or understand the theme through his perspective.

The focus of the story is on how all of the characters react to the conflict, rather than how Jerome learns from his experience - False.

No, we focus on Jerome, and what he learns from his experience.

I hope it helped you :)
