This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What lesson does Mr. Bixby try to teach the narrator in “A Cub Pilot”?

A. to know when he is being tricked

B. not to be so certain of his own abilities

C. not to rely on his existing knowledge

D. to keep a cool head in tense situations

Answer:

The lesson Mr. Bixby tries to teach the narrator is:

D. to keep a cool head in tense situations

Explanation:

In Mark Twain's "A Cub Pilot", Mr. Bixby shakes Samuel's confidence on purpose. He makes Samuel doubt his own abilities, second-guess himself. All Mr. Bixby does is ask Samuel if he is sure he can navigate on his own. Later on, however, he tells Samuel he shouldn't allow him (Mr. Bixby) nor anyone else to shake his faith in himself. He (Samuel) should keep a cool head in tense situations, no matter what it is that people tell him.

A stort shory that illustrate all that gliters is not gold​
balandron [24]

Two children were taken to the apple orchard on a fine day with their family. They picked a lot of apples, and had them all in a basket once they went home. Once at home, the parents told the children to each choose and apple to eat. The first child chose a glossy apple with a brilliant skin, which had no marks or dents. The second child chose a duller looking apple, with a couple of dents and some bruises. The first child bit into their Apple, only to find a worm had been their first. The worm left a tunnel in the Apple, and the child discarded the Apple. The second child bit into their Apple to find that it was very sweet, and had no worm inside. The children were careful about picking their apples from then on.

Write an essay on child rights in about 200 words ​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Children have the same rights as adults. As a vulnerable group, children have particular rights that recognize their <u>special need for protection</u> and also that help them <u>develop their full potential.</u> Children’s rights are defined in a wide spectrum of economic, civil, political and social rights. These rights have been labeled as the right to protection and right to empowerment. One right that children have is the:

<u>Right to provision</u>: Children have a right to be provided with a good standard of living, education and services, health care and a right to play. These include access to schooling, a balanced diet and a warm bed to sleep in. They also have a right to be <u>protected from neglect, abuse, discrimination and exploitation</u>. The views of the child are given weight according to the maturity and age of the child. A child can participate in the sense of taking part or being present or participate in the sense of knowing that one’s actions are taken note of and may be acted upon. The extent to children’s participation will vary between and within societies. Protection rights protect the children against exploitation and abuse for the best interest of the child while in participatory rights; children take part in decisions concerning their lives and a right to freedom of conscious and to hold an opinion. Adults and their children’s views may not always <u>coincide</u>. Many children’s wishes and views are <u>ignored</u> by the adults for the "best" interest of the child. Every child is entitled to have a name and a nationality.The child’s name, birth date and parents’ names are recorded, when a child is given a name at birth, he or she is not given an opportunity to choose a name for himself or herself. The parents do this for the best <u>interests</u> of the child.The child may however, decide to change its name upon reaching the age of maturity <u>(18)</u>. In this case the child is denied a right to participate in choosing its name at first but at later stages of <u>development</u>; the same child can participate in the same by changing to its desired name. A child is to be protected from all forms of punishment or discrimination <u>regardless of their age, race, sex, religion, status, and/or expressed opinions, activities and beliefs of the family members</u>. As much as a child has a right to religion, to express their opinion, or equality regardless of their age, these are sometimes restricted by their parents or legal guardians. For instance, a child is not at liberty to join a religion cult without the parents’ <u>interference</u> (Consent). It is not because the child is denied its freedom to worship but it’s for the best interest of the child, and also the safety of the child

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The people and events that influence a writer

Explanation:

The writer decides to write about something that happened years back, therefore, his style, diction will be related to that era/time.

For example, a contemporary writer that wants to write about Victorian era must place the events in the book in the right historical context i.e one can't see certain words and expressions, and the characters can't wear leather strap blouses or live in condos.
