To arrive at the correct answers for the questions, let's analyze each question individually:
1. The question asks for a passage that best supports the theme of perseverance. To determine the answer, we need to identify which of the passages demonstrates perseverance. Let's look at the options:
A. "I followed Father's orders faithfully." - This passage talks about obedience but not specifically about perseverance.
B. "And like Father, she was not afraid to talk to me like an equal." - This passage talks about equality, not perseverance.
C. "I wrote several drafts of it and then copied it out in the fine, elegant hand Miss Whitlaw had taught me." - This passage shows the character's determination and effort in writing, which aligns with perseverance.
D. "The next morning, I found that Father had picked up the letter and smoothed it out on the table as best he could." - This passage shows Father's action but does not directly address perseverance.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. "I wrote several drafts of it and then copied it out in the fine, elegant hand Miss Whitlaw had taught me."
2. The question asks about Robin's response to Windrider's statement. To determine the answer, let's examine the lines provided:
"I've never seen a kite like that,” she said finally. "This model of glider takes man into the sky,” Father said. "Oh, go on.” The demon girl shook her head. “I wasn’t born yesterday."
Based on Robin's response of disbelief and doubting Windrider's idea by saying, "Oh, go on. I wasn't born yesterday," we can conclude that Robin doubts Windrider's ideas. Therefore, the correct answer is D. "She doubts Windrider's ideas."
3. The question asks for a text example that supports the conclusion that Father is sorry he was angry with Moon Shadow. Let's analyze the options:
A. He dictates a new letter to the Wrights while Moon Shadow writes. - This example shows collaboration between Father and Moon Shadow but does not directly show remorse or sorrow.
B. He offers to buy the Wrights a crate of oranges. - This example demonstrates a kind gesture but does not specifically indicate Father's regret.
C. He compares his tables and diagrams to those that were sent. - This example shows Father's comparison but does not directly show remorse.
D. He lets Moon Shadow take notes after flying the glider. - This example indicates that Father is giving Moon Shadow a responsibility, but it does not show remorse directly.
None of the options directly support the conclusion that Father is sorry he was angry with Moon Shadow. Therefore, none of the options are correct.
4. The question asks for the meaning that best matches the word "erratically." Let's examine the options:
A. frantically - This word means hurriedly or in a panicked manner, which is not synonymous with erratic.
B. purposefully - This word means with intention or determination, which is the opposite of erratic.
C. threateningly - This word means in a manner that suggests harm or danger, which is unrelated to erratic behavior.
D. unpredictably - This word means without a regular pattern or order, which accurately represents erratic behavior.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. unpredictably.
In summary, the correct answers to the questions are C, D, None of the options, and D.
