Which sentence reveals the author’s point of view in the passage? learning to ski when you're an adult can be difficult. and if you are the kind of person who is easily embarrassed, then skiing may not be the sport for you. but you can avoid embarrassment when learning how to ski as an adult and reap great rewards of a fun activity. first, rent short skis. they will save you from wiping out on your first days on the mountain. next, take lessons from a certified professional at a ski school. you may think you can just watch other people ski and do what they do, but taking lessons will teach you how to ski correctly. now, here's a piece of wisdom for you: you are going to fall—not once, but many times. the best thing you can do to save face when it happens is to laugh it off and get back up. you could even pretend that you meant to fall down. whatever you do, don't whine about how sore you are or what a big bruise you'll have tomorrow. skiers are a tough bunch, and you want people to know you're serious about becoming one.

Now here's a piece of wisdom you fall but once but many times

Explanation:

- "in the declaration of independence, it is stated that all people have certain rights that can't be taken away. when the government fails to protect these rights, the people have no choice but to remove that government and replace it with a government that will do its job and protect the people's rights."

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
