Read the paragraph from Liam’s narrative. 1I had never been more frightened in my entire life. 2As I stepped onto the diving pla

tform, I waited for instructions from my diving coach. 3Only because his directions were so clear, and because he was so nice, was I able to do it. 4It had all been worth it, I thought, as I changed from my bathing suit back into clothes. 5I had achieved what I had set out to do. Which sentence could replace sentence 5 to make the paragraph more precise? I was able to accomplish the goal I had set for myself.  I had finally managed to dive from the highest platform. I had surprised myself by being able to do what I didn’t think I could. I truly owed a lot to Coach Wilkerson for all the help he had given me.

You can think of paragraphs like mini essays—they include a type of introduction, a body, and a conclusion.  With that in mind, let’s look back at the paragraph.  The bulk of the content is about the direction Liam received from his coach that made the frightening dive possible.   Of the possible responses, only one mentions the coach:  “I truly owed a lot to Coach Wilkerson for all the help he had given me.”  Not only does this last sentence most fully wrap things up for this paragraph, it makes it more precise by addressing everything that was mentioned prior and keeps all content on topic.

Which conclusion about Pau Amma does this excerpt support? He likes swimming. He highly respects everyone. He likes to follow hi
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: He likes to follow his own path

Explanation:

The crab in the excerpt decided not to play with the other animals but instead went off alone by itself to the sea. This is after the Eldest Magician had recommended that they do so.

The crab therefore prefers to follow its own path because even though the other animals had heeded the voice of the Magician and done what he had asked, the crab decided to do its own thing by going off to play alone.
