Red Cloud Part B Charles A. Eastman The grammatical errors in this passage are intentional. 1 (12) I once asked Red Cloud if he could recall having ever been afraid, for in reply he told me this story. He was about sixteen years old and had already been once or twice upon the warpath, when one fall his people were hunting in the Big Horn country, where they might expect trouble at any moment with the hostile Crows or Shoshones. (13) Red Cloud had followed a single buffalo bull into the Bad Lands and being out of sight and hearing of his companions.When he had brought down his game, he noted carefully every feature of his surroundings so that he might at once detect anything unusual, and tied his horse with a long lariat to the horn of the dead bison, while skinning and cutting up the meat so as to pack it to camp. (14) Every few minutes he paused in his work to scrutinize the landscape if he had a feeling that danger was not far off. 2 Suddenly, almost over his head, as it seemed, he heard a tremendous war whoop, and glancing sidewise, thought he beheld the charge of an overwhelming number of warriors. (15) He tried desperately to give the usual undaunted war whoop in reply, but instead a yell of terror burst from his lips, his legs gave way under him, and he fell in a heap.When he realized, the next instant, that the war whoop was merely the sudden loud whinnying of his own horse, and the charging army a band of fleeing elk, he was so ashamed of himself that he never forgot the incident, although up to that time he had never mentioned it. (16) His subsequent, that the lesson was well learned, career would indicate 3 (17) The future leader was still a very young man, so he joined a war party against the Utes. Having pushed eagerly forward on the trail, he found himself far in advance of his companions as night came on, and at the same time rain began to fall heavily. (18) Among the scattered scrub pines, the lone warrior done found a natural cave, and after a hasty examination, he decided to shelter there for the night. 4 (19) Scarcely had he rolled himself in his blanket when he heard a slight rustling at the entrance, as if some creature were preparing to share his retreat. It was pitch dark. He could see nothing, but judged that it must be either a man or a grizzly. (20) There was not room to draw a bow. It must be between knife and knife, or between knife and claws, he said to himself. 5 (21) The intruder made no search so quietly lay down in the opposite corner of the cave. Red Cloud remained perfectly still, scarcely breathing, his hand upon his knife. Hour after hour he lay broad awake, while many thoughts passed through his brain. Suddenly, without warning, he sneezed, and instantly a strong man sprang to a sitting posture opposite. (22) The first gray of morning will be creeping into their rocky den, and behold! a Ute hunter sat before him. 6 (23) Desperate as the situation appeared, it wasn’t like it was terrible. Neither could afford to take his eyes from the other’s; the tension was great, till at last a smile wavered over the expressionless face of the Ute. (24) Red Cloud answered the smile, but in that instant a treaty of peace was born between them. 7 “Put your knife in its sheath. I shall do so also, and we will smoke together,” signed Red Cloud. (25) The other assented gladly, and previously they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends. Having finished their smoke, they shook hands and separated. Neither had given the other any information. Red Cloud returned to his party and told his story, adding that he had divulged nothing and had nothing to report. (26) Some were inclined to censure him for not fighting, but he was sustained, who commended his self-restraint, by a majority of the warriors.In a day or two they discovered the main camp of the enemy and fought a remarkable battle, in which Red Cloud especially distinguished himself. Look at the underlined section marked number (25). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’ A) The other assented gladly, and fortunately they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends. B) The other assented gladly, and instead they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends. C) The other assented gladly, and thus they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends. D) The other assented gladly, and again they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends. Eliminate

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

is naked feet warm by the fire, rubbing them at first, of course, with snow. The fire was a success. He was safe. He remembered the advice of the old-timer on Sulphur Creek, and smiled. The old-timer had been very serious in laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone. But it was surprising, the rapidity with which his cheeks and nose were freezing. And he had not thought his fingers could go lifeless in so short a time. Lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The best choice is option C: 'The other assented gladly, and thus they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends.' This is because 'thus' implies that ratifying the truce was a consequence of the other party gladly assenting, which fits the context of the story.

Explanation:

In examining the underlined section marked as number (25), we need to identify the most suitable conjunction to use following 'and'. The sentence currently reads 'The other assented gladly, and previously they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends.' In this context, 'previously' sounds off because it suggests an action that happened before the current one, which doesn't add up in the story. The best conjunction would be 'thus'. This implies that ratifying the truce was a direct result or a consequence of the other party gladly assenting.

So, the rectified sentence should be 'The other assented gladly, and thus they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends.' Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

What is the tense of the underlined verb in the sentence? The field mouse hid underneath the front porch.

A.
past perfect

B.
past

C.
present

D.
future

Answers

We can't see which is underlined but I'm assuming it's hid based on the question. It's B) Past. The reason is that hid refers to something he has already done. So it's in the past. And past perfect means that the wording is a bit more complex. It would only be past perfect if it said 'The mouse had hidden under there before." so they have two words saying it's hid there, had and hidden.

Draw a quick picture picture that show the number 76 describe the value of each digit in this number

Answers

The number 76 has 6 in the one's digit column, and 7 in the tens' digit column, as shown in the figure.

Explanation:
In the decimal numbering system, we count from 0,1,2, ..., 9 in the ones digit column.
When we reach 10, we have exhausted all 10 positions in the ones column. Therefore we shift left into the tens digit column and count in tens as 10,20,30, ..., 90.
When we reach 100, we have exhausted the 10 positions in the tens column. So we shift left and count in hundreds, and so on.
