9 Then I stopped. Did you give that your best? I asked myself. Yes, I thought. But then I asked, did you give it more than your best?
10 No, I had to answer. More than my best was to go back and jump from the ladder to the far side. I knew the impossible is often the untried. I couldn't leave without trying, so back I went.
11 I decided to use the handrail ropes that were still there, adding new anchors and Petzl ascenders pointing both forward and back. I figured I had a fifty-fifty chance of making it across.
12 The ladder bobbed up and down as I edged my way out. At the end of the ladder, I focused all my concentration—and jumped.
13 Thwack! My ice pick bit into the ice on the lip of the crevasse. It held. I dug my crampons into the icy wall and used all my strength to pull myself up.

ok so like i went to wiki and looked up the (constitution x new "hammystan")and it showed me the picture it highlights new hampshire and says first and second session and than it says that they hit up the u.s and was like "ey dude that paper u sent us was adopted it bro thx" xd syays it all on wiki/the pic

i dont really like reading so i guess other people might not like reading either so   imma put the answer in bold italics

b is the answer.   i sat on the lumpy sofa, totally exhausted, with a bad taste in my mouth, wondering what i should do next.  

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
