Read the excerpt from "Flight into Yesterday.” This leg was also the most dangerous of the entire trip. Howland, 2,600 miles to

the east, was a tiny speck of land in the middle of the vast Pacific. It would take all of her skill as a pilot and Fred’s as a navigator to find the island. But danger did not worry her. She knew that flying carried risks. She faced them and accepted them. What mattered was setting herself a challenge and meeting it. What mattered was showing that women could do what men could do and encouraging other women to do what they were capable of. That was why she was flying over the Pacific, looking for a speck of land. Fame was never her goal. The important thing was to do what she had set out to do and to do it as well as she knew how. She had been that way all her life. Amelia Earhart, world-famous flier, was very much like the young girl who once lived in Atchison, Kansas. What best describes the author’s purpose? The author wants readers to understand what Earhart’s childhood was like in Atchison, Kansas. The author wants readers to understand why Earhart would go on such a dangerous trip. The author wants readers to understand why Earhart became such a famous figure around the world. The author wants readers to understand how Earhart’s skills applied to the challenge she faced.

The author wants readers to understand why Earhart would go on such a dangerous trip.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

‘Earhart’s Flight into Yesterday’ is an excellent book about Amelia Earhart’s flying experiences by Caption Laurance. After reading the excerpt, one can figure out that the author want readers to understand the reason behind Earhart going on such a dangerous trip.

It was not that Earhart wanted to achieve fame and success. Rather she wanted to change the perspective of the people regarding women. She wanted to show the world that even women are capable enough to fly an aircraft. And which is why she decided to fly over the Pacific. She was the one who set many records that not even men were capable of.

Which descriptive details from the text best help the reader visualize the specific early Victorian tea set that is the central
iogann1982 [59]
I believe you are referring to this text: 

<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.

From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".
