00:13

which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to that previous question [text on screen]

00:16

00:20

the previous question probably and of rebirths the white plane was run by

00:23

becoming a singleton all right so we'll go back and look at the lines let's kind

00:27

of think through here which choice provides the best evidence evidence for

00:32

the answer so we're gonna go back and do some huntin so let's go to line 17 here

00:37

Riverton with him get on the river all right I know everything can we do it

00:49

01:43

Twain's remark about how boy after boy managed to get on the river emphasizes

01:49

that it was a desirable trade but it doesn't explain why he longs to do it

01:52

and everyone could do it so it wasn't all that kingly or rare or whatever the [captain sailing ship]
