ng their summer at the family lake house. The clerk pointed to a brand-new canoe. "This is our top seller. Dependable, good reviews, comes with a ten-year warranty." But while Rachel was inspecting the canoe, another customer approached her. "Are you sure you want to spend all that money on a canoe? I've got an old pedal boat I could sell you for a quarter of the price," he offered. Later that day, Rachel and Arnel went to the man's house to check out the pedal boat. It had a lot of dents, and the man admitted that he hadn't taken it out on the water in three years. But the price was too good to beat. "The boat would be sold in the condition it's in," the man warned. "All sales final." But Rachel and Arnel were already talking about the fishing gear they could buy with the money they would be saving. They bought the pedal boat immediately. took the man When summer arrived, Arnel took the boat for a test run on the lake, while Rachel watched from the shoreline. The boat hardly went fifty feet before the front started sinking. Rachel's summer fantasy sunk along with it. She remembered the brand-new canoe she'd passed up and felt foolish.

Answer:

B. Trying too hard to save money can cost you.

Explanation:

The passage fails to say anything about them regretting not to do more research, but it does say a lot about saving money. Instead of buying the costly boat, Rachel and Arnel bought the cheap boat which ended up falling through. This mistake cost them as now they have lost money from this purchase and they have to buy another boat instead. As a result of trying to save money, they ended up losing more money.

Why does the author use the simile, "Night gently floats away like a pitch-black security blanket..."?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Beacause the author is trying to describe how night time is really like, a pitch black secrity blanket is very dark compared to the night time. So the author is comparing both of them to the same topic.

Hope it helps you out

Which is an example of hypothetical evidence?
marusya05 [52]
Hypothetical evidence is based on speculation rather than on concrete facts. This is similar to a hypothesis in science. 

The closest one I can see is answer D. The writer is asking you to imagine what would happen if leaders wrote their own speeches, instead of telling you what does and is known to happen when they do write their own speeches. (I hope that wasn't too confusing.)
