Which sentence best describes the point of view in this diary kept by a woman traveling west to Oregon? Since we came on board [this riverboat] we have come on very pleasantly; our accommodations are better here than on any previous boat--excellent cooks, and enough to eat, and servants who stand at our elbows ready to supply every want.

Five o'clock. We are now fast upon a sand-bar, but think we shall soon get off. It has rained all day -- a dense fog covers the river, so that it is impossible to shun them. We shall be obliged to lie still to-night.

29th, Tuesday morning. Fog very thick this morning, but now appears to be dispersing. We shall expect to see St. Louis today. Cold and damp, and am obliged to stay in my room.

Varied scenes present themselves as we pass up - beautiful landscapes - on the one side high and rugged bluffs, and on the other low plains.

A young woman who is a little nervous about traveling alone

A wealthy wife who lets her husband handle the details of the journey

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
