Excerpt from "a witch trial at mount holly" by benjamin franklin then came out of the house a grave, tall man carrying the holy writ before the supposed wizard etc., (as solemnly as the sword-bearer of london before the lord mayor) the wizard was first put in the scale, and over him was read a chapter out of the books of moses, and then the bible was put in the other scale, (which, being kept down before) was immediately let go; but, to the great surprize of the spectators, flesh and bones came down plump, and outweighed that great good book by abundance. after the same manner the others were served, and their lumps of mortality1 severally were too heavy for moses and all the prophets and apostles. which phrase from the excerpt most clearly makes the witch trial seem ridiculous? "…flesh and bones came down plump.…" "…carrying the holy writ…" "…as solemnly as the sword-bearer of london…" "…came out of the house…"

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
