Excerpt from Seaplanes Roberto Barerra
2Flying boats have a fuselage, or body, that looks and acts like a ship's hull This hull enables
them to float on water very easily. Two small floats underneath its wings keep the flying boat
stable in rough water. These seaplanes are usually larger and more stable on water than
floatplanes are. A floatplane is a seaplane that has two long floats, called pontoons, under the
fuselage. This is the only part of the plane that touches the water. Unlike flying boats, floatplanes often come in a wide variety
of sizes. An amphibious vehicle can be either a flying boat or a floatplane with wheels. This allows the aircraft to land on both
land and water.

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 norway gazed down upon the world from it’s 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.
