Now tell me, in the name of Heaven, what sent you riding across the country in this fashion?” Which best explains the context clues for and the correct meaning of “incoherently”?

Incoherent means that something is expressed in a way that cannot be understand well or is confusing in either written or spoken speech. Of the given manners (eager, angry, nervous, and confused), the one that best fits with this definition would be confused manner. Therefore, we can infer that based on the context clues "stammered", "gaped", and "in the name of Heaven" that the word "incoherently" means in a confused manner.

ra1l [238]
If the passage is about the human errors that contributed to the spread of the fire, only details that prevented the firemen from being able to contain the fire should be used. The sentence "Even after the fire, Brown was confident..." shows that Brown was confident in his decision. This sentence does not however directly contribute to the firefighters inability to effectively contain the fire at the time of the fire. This takes place after the fire has done the damage.

The idea that has been suggested through using the word 'grace' is that there are moments of grace; unearned and undeserved, around us that we need to observe.

Explanation:

"The Hermit's Story" is a short story written by Rick Bass. The story is about the magical world.
