"The better we feel about ourselves, the fewer times we have to knock somebody else down to feel tall." What Odetta Holmes means by her quote is whenever we feel positive, we feel uplifted and proud. The more positive we feel, the less we want to knock someone else off of their high and make them feel down. People usually knock others off of their high just for the sake of feeling taller than them. If we already feel high and positive, there's no reason to make someone else feel bad and negative.
The correct answer is letter C. In the passage from “The Rescue Mission”, the author has chosen the present tense to make the narrative appear more vividly by assimilating it to the here-and-now of the speech act. This use of the present tense is also called <u>Conversational and Narrative Historical present</u>. It describes the past as if it is happening now. These sentences are clear examples of this use in the setting: “I’ve got the clips, bungee cord, vests, and basket, and the rest of the equipment is onboard.”; “I have to get my head in the zone because this chopper is heading into stormy conditions, and it will feel as though things are happening at supersonic speed when we get to the site.”
