Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. (? means italics)

Read the passage from "A Cub Pilot":

I was helpless. I did not know what in the world to do. I was quaking from head to foot, and I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far.
"Quarter twain! Quarter twain! Mark twain!"
We were drawing nine! My hands were in a nerveless flutter. I could not ring a bell intelligibly with them. I flew to the speaking-tube and shouted to the engineer,
"Oh, Ben, if you love me, back her! Quick, Ben! Oh, back the immortal soul out of her!"
I heard the door close gently. I looked around, and there stood Mr. Bixby, smiling a bland, sweet smile. Then the audience on the hurricane-deck sent up a thundergust of humiliating laughter. I saw it all now, and felt meaner than the meanest man in human history. I laid in the lead, set the boat in her marks, came ahead on the engines, and said,
"It was a fine trick to play on an orphn, wasn't* it? I suppose I'll never hear the last of how I was st*pid enough to heave the lead at the head of 66."
"Well, no, you won't, maybe. In fact, I hope you won't; for I want you to learn something by that experience. Didn't you know there was no bottom in that crossing?"
"Yes, sir, I did."

You will write one well-developed paragraph of at least 7-8 sentences.

In your paragraph, identify one major idea in the memoir "A Cub Pilot." Then identify one sentence in the passage that directly develops or refines that main idea. Explain how that sentence develops the main idea you identified.

Make sure you are using specific evidence from the "A Cub Pilot" to support your ideas.

He said it was because a private detective sees the dark side of human nature. but whatever the reason, gill landers had an innate suspicion of politicians. when senator randy brill walked into his office on that summer day in august, mopping his flushed features with a monogrammed handkerchief, gill could think of no good reason to change his attitude. he'd only met brill once. that had been two years ago at a country club reception for state political notables. since then, he'd learned all he wanted to know about the senator's sinister reputation. gill sat back in his chair, put his feet on his desk, and fought to keep a poker face. but there was no way he could stop the chill that coursed along his spine like a rush of ice water. 29. in this paragraph, the word notables probably signifies that the persons so described a. would like to be politicians. b. are wealthy people. c. have political influence. d. are contributors to charity.
