From water by helen keller. the morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. the little blind children at the perkins institution had sent it and laura bridgman had dressed it; but i did not know this until afterward. when i had played with it a little while, miss sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." i was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. when i finally succeeded in making the letters correctly i was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. running downstairs to my mother i held up my hand and made the letters for doll. i did not know that i was spelling a word or even that words existed; i was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. in the days that followed i learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. but my teacher had been with me several weeks before i understood that everything has a name.

what might the following passage from "water" lead you to predict?
in the days that followed i learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. but my teacher had been with me several weeks before i understood that everything has a name.
a. the family will send away the teacher
b. the narrator will continue to learn with her fingers
c. the narrator will return the doll to the blind children.
d. the family will become upset with the narrator's imitating.
can you give me the language arts lesson 1: unit 3: what is important to know? answers. i really need them. it's worth 52 points. =)

The answer is B) The narrator will continue to learn with her fingers

Explanation:

This is because it clearly states that she did not know everything had a name until several weeks later. She was still a child, and she says that she was proud that she had made the hand-gestures correctly, then ran to her mother to show her what she had learned. She is still a blind child. She still needs to learn more sign language. Of course she will learn more!

I hope this helps!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
