Excerpt from the most dangerous game
richard connell
when the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, rainsford took up his flight again. it was flight now, a desperate,
hopeless flight, that carried him on for some hours. dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. the ground grew softer
under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank
into the ooze. he tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. with a violent
effort, he tore his foot loose. he knew where he was now. death swamp and its quicksand.

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
