Answer: It reveals Ahab’s commitment to his mission for revenge.

In this passage, the speaker is describing the impact that Ahab caused when meeting him for the first time. He describes his white, whalebone leg, and how he fashioned it out of a sperm whale's jaw. He also describes how there was an auger hole on the deck, upon which Ahab would steady his leg. He would stand there and look out beyond the prow for hours on end. The speaker also describes his attitude of determination and wilfullness. All of these elements contribute to showing how commited Ahab was to his mission.

just olya [345]

The correct options are "determining the central idea of the text"; "looking for facts and examples"; "considering all the evidence" and " finding repeated words and phrases".

In the process of citing supporting details it is necessary to have the central idea of the text in mind so as to make sure the quotations are connected to the text. Since the purpose of citing is to support ideas, you need to find examples and specific facts, and to evaluate their appropiatness and connection to the text. Some repetition within the text is necessary as well because it helps you establish the connection between the citation and the text, so as to help the reader follow the text easily

What significance does the repetition of the world of raga have in this excerpt from "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Les
Bogdan [553]
Raga is a piece of Indian music that is rhythmic and used spontaneously.

The use of repetition in the line "I sing a mad raga/I sing a mad raga/a glad raga...is being used as a sort of call to arms, a mantra, a chant for equality in our society. It is something that people could copy and easily remember. 

The use of reception of the word is also a form of anaphora. Used before each new idea, it makes the idea itself stand out. raga of yellow/raga of mellow/raga of new/raga of old/raga of blue/raga of gold.
