Part A How does the narrator of “A Cub Pilot” initially feel about his own abilities? A He feels that he needs more supervision than he receives. B He is very confident in his overall ability to pilot a steamboat. C He is sometimes worried that he will misjudge the river’s depth. D He thinks that he knows the river better than any of the pilots do. Which statement from “A Cub Pilot” best supports the answer in Part A? “My imagination began to construct dangers out of nothing, and they multiplied faster than I could keep the run of them.” “Judgment is a matter of brains, and a man must start with a good stock of that article, or he will never succeed as a pilot.” “If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.” “All [Mr. Bixby] ever did was to take the wheel on particularly bad nights or in particularly bad crossings . . . and collect the wages.”
Answers
Answer:
D. He thinks that he knows the river better than any of the pilots do.
“If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.”
Explanation:
"Cub Pilot" is from the novel "Life On The Mississippi" by Mark Twain. It tells the experience of Samuel Clemens/ Mark Twain as a steersman under his chief Mr. Bixby.
When Mr. Bixby asked Mark to navigate the boat while he went below for a while, he felt confident of doing it without supervision. His confidence in his ability and knowledge is on the high and he felt sure of it. He thinks that there is no other pilot that knows the river better than him. This is supported by his admission "If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt."
Cells grow in order for _____ to grow and reproduce.
Answers
Answer:
Organisms.
Explanation:
In biological terms, the growth of an organism depends on the cells in that organism.
Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms. Quite simply put, they are the first stage or the very first to exist for an entire organism to be formed. And when cells form and multiply, they help in the growth and reproduction of organisms. So, the growth of cells is responsible for the growth and reproduction of organisms.

What is the meaning of Quotations?
A quotation is when a word, phrase, or passage from a lecture or book is used repeatedly. It is the depiction of an utterance in an oral speech that is preceded by a lexical item marker, including a verb of saying, and is thus something that the speaker uttered.
Using someone else's precise words or statements as part of your writing is known as a "direct quotation." The first character of the cited passage must be capitalized if it is a complete sentence. My sister said, "I need to do my schoolwork," as an example.
All quotation marks, including any punctuation, must be used exactly. To encapsulate the cited words in a brief quotation, use single quote marks (' '). To separate a citation from a long quoted passage, frequently a passage from a literary work, use double quotation marks.
The main purpose of quotation marks is to distinguish and convey verbatim text that has been written or uttered by someone else. A quote mark is used to indicate speaking acts in fiction as well as occasionally in poetry.
Hence, option D is correct.

Answer:
Although yoga is occasionally seen as the women’s-only form of exercise, it is for everyone. And men, especially those who don’t do much aerobic exercise, and others who spend a lot of time hunched over staring at screens, tend to need it more than anyone else. Yoga provides not just the physical workout but also a mental and spiritual lift. “Some people have an out-of-date image of yoga,” says Joe Cowan, a yoga instructor from Peterborough. “The modern reality, however, is very different.”
Explanation:
the indefinite articles are used wrongly. Where 'a' is appropriate, 'an' is inserted and vice versa. As a paragraph, it should not begin with a pronoun and it appears appropriate to use the noun 'yoga' instead of the pronoun 'it'
Answer:
Although people occasionally misconstrue Yoga as a women’s-only form of exercise however it is for everyone. (1)
And men, especially those who don’t do much aerobic exercise, and others who spend a lot of time hunched over staring at screens, tend to need it more than anyone else. (2)

“Some people have an out-of-date image of Yoga,” says Joe Cowan, a yoga instructor from Peterborough. (4)
“The modern reality, however, is very different.” (5)
Explanation:
In the first sentence, the word yoga (which is a noun) is spelled as shown with a lower case "y" instead of the upper case"Y". This error is also repeated in sentence 4.In the first sentence, an issue with Passive Voice misuse was also detected and corrected. Rather than being vague about the subject (People) who performs the verb of misconstruing Yoga as a women's-only form of exercise the subject (People) was introduced to properly clear that up.There was an issue of incorrect article usage in the third sentence above. The article "the" had to be replaced for the sentence to become grammatically correct.There were also two article usage issues in the fourth sentence. Article "a" was replaced with "an" just before the word out-of-date, while article "an" was replaced with "a" for the sentence to become grammatically correct.The corrected text is thus given below albeit numbered for ease of reference:
Although people occasionally misconstrue Yoga as a women’s-only form of exercise however it is for everyone.

Identify the suffix to which each rule applies.
Answers
Answer:
Group I. If the root is a full word, the ending is usually -able.
Group II. When the root is a full word except for a final e, the forms usually are spelled with -able and drop the finale.
Group III. The suffix -able always follows the letter i. Thus, if you follow our English custom of changing y to i in these words, you will add -able.
Group IV. When the root has other forms built on the letter a, the -able form is used.
Group V. When the root ends in hard c orhard g, -able is used. The suffix -able is the only possible ending after hard c or g, in order to keep the proper pronunciation.
Group VI. When the root is not a full word, -ible is used.
Group VII. When the word has an immediate -tion form, -ible is used.
Group VIII. When the root ends in ns, miss, or soft c or g, -ible is used.

Denise's mother put the wedding dress away for her daughter wrapped in tissue paper. Is it misplaced modifier, dangling modifier, faulty predication, or incomplete comparison?
Answers
Answer:
Misplaced modifier.
Explanation:
A misplaced modifier is a modifier that is in an awkward position, not clearly stating which word it modifies. This word or phrase that acts as a modifier is improperly separated, making the word it is located with seem awkward.
In the given sentence, the modifier is "wrapped in tissue paper". This word is supposedly modifying the word "wedding dress" but due to its improper location next to the word "daughter", it seemed more like it is modifying the "daughter". So, when read that way, it sounds like the daughter is wrapped in tissue paper. This is a case of the modifier being misplaced in the sentence.
Thus, the correct answer is misplaced modifier.

I was in the 6th grade at Quail Valley Elementary (QVE). Our class was writing reports on animals. I was a stutterer, and had been since I was 4 or 5 years old. I had picked "Sharks" to report on. I knew I would have to read my paper aloud to the class. When I turned the paper in to my teacher, Ms. R. Knowing that ;( I tried to make my paper as short as possible). She was a new teacher at QVE. Our principal was disabled, and couldn't walk, but she had no problem getting to each new teacher class and checking on the teacher.
The principal would roll around to each class with one of the school's new teachers and just sit there on her wheels and watch the class. I had finished my Sharks report and we were sharing our reports. When it came to my turn, I got up in front of the class, i smacked on my charming smile(at least i thought it was charming) and begin stuttering. Our principal rolls in and starts watching me. I could tell she is about to throw up from watching me stomp my feet and roll my head. Poor Ms. R. What will the Principal think of her now? One of her students can't even read. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't let me sit down. I had to sit there for 30 minutes and [try to] read my paper. I think finally she let me stop, the entire class was probably swimming in my tears by then. I have never felt so embarrased in my life
