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<em> "with [his] eyes closed".</em> 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<em> "with a church steeple."</em> Soon after, he began to falter in his confidence, making mistakes after mistakes which, in the end, Mr. Bixby told him<em> "there was no bottom in [that] crossing"</em>. 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 <u>correct answer is the fourth option</u>.
IRBD work with middle-income developing countries
IDA: saving accounts for lower income
Syrita was chosen to argue with X because she was the first person he saved, as shown in option B. In this case, option B is the correct answer.
Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question refers to the book "Superhuman" by Nicola Yoon.
When reading this book, we can see that:
- A superhero named X decides to destroy the world, as he believes that human beings are evil and that they have no salvation.
- He came to this conclusion because he was unfairly shot by cops when he was an ordinary human, as the cops shot him for being black.
- However, before wanting to destroy humanity, he saves Syrita the day she fell from a building.
For this reason, the president decides to send Syrita to talk to him, because he saved her, which shows that human beings have salvation and not all evil.
