We had trouble finding our way through the fog. Nights at sea were dark, but nights spent sailing through bad weather were exceptionally dark. It was when we looked up and saw the St. Elmo's fire burning around our mast that we knew we had to keep going. We were all amazed by this natural phenomenon caused by static electricity clinging to the ship's mast. It appeared to light our way in the blackest of nights, and, by its light, we fought against the storm and made our way into the marina. We all hoped that we'd never face something that scary again, but I know that if I must, I have Mother Nature's light giving me the power to persevere.
In this passage, the St. Elmo's Fire is a symbol of
A.
endurance because it boosts the sailors' strength.
B.
despair because it breaks the sailors' hearts.
C.
ignorance because it shows the sailors' neglect.
D.
kindness because it warms the sailors' bodies.

Read this excerpt from rudolfo anaya’s essay “take the tortillas out of your poetry.”tortillas and poetry. they go hand in hand. books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . i don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. i travel to foreign countries, and i know more about myself as i learn more about my fellow human beings. censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one. which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative? using words that affect the audience’s sense of trustusing less repetition of certain words and phrasesincluding words that address logic and reasonincluding words that are charged with emotion
