Title: When the Waters Rise
The following passage (paragraph 15) adds to the development of the essay mainly by fill in the blank .

"Though the teens used technology to identify neighbors in need, their methods for rescuing were more old-fashioned. Declan’s boat was only supposed to hold three or four people, but sometimes there were as many as thirteen people on it. To reduce the weight, Thomas and Liam rode on a paddleboard tied to the back. Even though he was a swimmer and water polo player, Liam struggled to keep up with the strong current. Foul-smelling garbage littered the water, and fire ants stung his exposed skin.
