I believe it is: rationality.
Answer:
One time showed leadership was when I was captain of the soccer team and guided my team to victory.
Explanation:
First of all I was not the elected captain, but the guy who was elected captain was injured and chosen me as his replacement because he believed I was a very responsible person that was fit to do the job. So, when we face the other team I was not even in an attacking position. I was in a defensive midfield position. Therefore, I had sight of all the field, my teammates, and their movements. So, I could provide feedback and real-time instructions to them. Making the defense very tight and managing to counter their attacks.

Capulet calls for a sword, but Lady Capulet's lines 'offer' him a crutch instead. This is used to show how old and incapable Capulet would be in a street brawl with much younger and stronger fighters. Capulet refers to Montague 'flourishing his blade in spite' of him, which shows that Montague is not taking part in the actual fight either, just waving his sword around. This shows that the head of both houses are not actually effectual within the fight, but encourage its continuation regardless.
The theme of the novel that this excerpt best address is "Man and the natural world". In other words, how humans can see animals as a terrible monster for their own benefit. In this chapter, in particular, there are some rumors of Moby D. circulating among the whalemen, rumors that tend to put Moby D. as the most terrible monster of them all, capable of maiming and killing anyone, an evil creature (<em>malicious</em>) that will kill if he encounters anyone on his path. Also, Ahab talks about Moby D. as the worst and cruelest monster.
It's important to know that Moby D. is not an ordinary whale, it is very large and strange looking, his whiteness is very particular and the same goes to his jaws that are misshapen. Even if it has these tremendous characteristics its still a whale but in this book it's more like a mystical and fantasy character. It usually hard to find even if it has very clear characteristics.
In the excerpt "<em>monomaniac</em>" means an irrational concern with a single idea or object. We can see this idea reflected on Ahab's behavior as he wants to hunt and kill Moby D. because it would be a symbolic victory against the cruelty of this monster.
