Answer:

Option B. A revision that would expand the ideas of the excerpt would be adding more specifics about the sailors' beliefs about the island.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the student writes about the discussion that Rainsford and Whitney are having about Ship-Trap Islands and the beliefs that sailors have about it. Although the reader can get an idea about what type of thoughts and beliefs people have about the place based on the characters emotions and reactions about it, it would be helpful to the excerpt if the writer would add more specifics about these beliefs, so that the whole concept of the discussion between Whitney and Rainsford would be clearer.

HELP MEH PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINEST Create your dream life. Describe it in detail.

wlad13 [49]

A “dream life” is subjective to many people. While idealistically in America’s eye a dream life would likely be wealth, being extremely successful, perhaps famous, etc. But for a minority like me who is gay, I’d love for there to be a world where there wouldn’t have to be a “coming out” style and not simply expecting the default to be heterosexual. If the human race had been more open-minded and accepting progression would go as far as working together to solve things without divisibility or worrying about being disowned or if it caters towards your families beliefs. That is what a dream life is to me.
