Rachel walked up and down the aisles at Costello's Watercraft. She wanted something she and her husband, Arnel, could enjoy duri

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. The pedals stuck as the boat sunk deeper, and Arnel had to swim back to shore. At least the fishing rods worked. Rachel and Arnel spent the summer catching perch and shaking their heads over their mistake.

Answer:

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

What is the underlying universal message of a text?
omeli [17]

The underlying universal message of a text is the theme.

The theme is a big idea, something that you can learn about life in general.

Here are some examples of themes found in literature:

Love, such as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a tragic tale of forbidden love with terrible consequences.

Death, The Fault in Our Stars features teenage characters coming to terms with their mortality in the face of terminal illness.

Good vs. evil, The Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis', follows four siblings who pass into an entirely new world, in which they encounter characters both good (Aslan) and evil (The White Witch)

Write a story about a determined single mother​
irina [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

Abandoned with no support or financial aid, she made attempts to locate any kind of help she could get, hoping that anyone would want to be part of his children’s lives. Unfortunately, these inquiries led to yet another tragedy when she was finally assured that she had to take care of her children alone. Not only that, but she also had to find a way to help and guide her three young children, who were by now seven, five and four respectively, through the agony and anguish of their father’s loss, as well as dealing with her own grief.

When she did have a job there was no one to be there for her children when they needed care. She had to depend on her relatives and charity to keep her head above water, often having to degrade herself to ask for help or seizing herself to make sure there was enough for her children.
