Question

select two text excerpts that support the answer in no. 3.
“...the rivers whitecaps that would have liked to drown me...gone to this: a river of smoothest glass...” (paragraph 14)
“...meting out punishment and benediction on a whim.” (paragraph 14)
“and now, inexplicably, the white woman in a little red boat, paddling through waters that flawlessly mirror the cumulus clouds above.” (paragraph 14)
“...hapless actor in a mysterious play, not yet knowing what my part is, left to gape at the wonder of what i have set in motion.” (paragraph 14)

Explanation:

Without knowing the answer in no. 3, we can't be certain. But based on the given text - excerpts, we need to choose two that are relevant to it. The first excerpt describes a change in the river's state from dangerous white - caps to smooth glass, which could potentially support an answer about the river's transformation. The third excerpt describes a serene scene with a woman in a boat on calm waters, also likely to support an answer related to the river's peaceful state.

Answer:

"…[the river's] whitecaps that would have liked to drown me…Gone to this: a river of smoothest glass…" (paragraph 14)
"And now, inexplicably, the white woman in a little red boat, paddling through waters that flawlessly mirror the cumulus clouds above." (paragraph 14)
