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

Which detail from “A Cub Pilot” helps shape the central idea that if you believe in and trust yourself, no one should be able to shake your confidence?

A. Mr. Bixby asks, “Didn’t you know there was no bottom in that crossing?”

B. Twain says to Mr. Bixby the he can make the crossing “with [his] eyes shut.”

C. Mr. Bixby tells Twain, ““I am going below awhile.”

D. Twain tells Mr. Bixby that he couldn’t hit the bottom of the river “with a church steeple.”

Answer:

The detail that shapes the central idea is:

A. Mr. Bixby asks, “Didn’t you know there was no bottom in that crossing?”

Explanation:

In Mark Twain's "A Cub Pilot", Mr. Bixby teaches Samuel a lesson about confidence and trusting oneself. At first, Samuel is sure of his abilities to navigate without Mr. Bixby. He even says he can do it with his eyes shut. <u>Yet, when Mr. Bixby asks him if he is sure he can really do it, Samuel begins to doubt it. That one question was enough to make him second-guess himself. Even though he does know how to do it, he becomes unsure of his ability. </u>

<u>When Mr. Bixby asks, “Didn’t you know there was no bottom in that crossing?” he reveals it was a test. He wants Samuel to learn to not doubt his skills, even if others seem to doubt them.</u>

What are the central ideas of smiths text, and what is the purpose of his account? Cite evidence for the text in your response
kirza4 [7]
Smiths text is the historical backdrop of Virginia. Smith looked for  new monetary open doors. While hunting down assets Smith and his men are as far as anyone knows, assaulted by Indians. The Indians slaughter the men that Smith was joined by amid his mission. They save Smith's life in return for his compass as that was something new and valuable for them. The Indian chief Powhatan needs Smith murdered, however his girl Pocahontas protects Smith. Smith's text is depicted as a romantic tale by a few, while others trust it is white men taking property and another society's ladies.
