All the animals were now present except Mosel, the tame raven, who slept on a perch behind the back door. When Major saw
that they had all made themselves comfortable and were waiting attentively he cleared his throat and began:
"Comrades, you have heard already about the strange dream that I had last night. But I will come to the dream later. I have
something else to say first. I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for many months longer, and before I die I feel it
my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired. I have had a long life, I have had much time for thought as I lay
alone in my stall, and I think I may say that I understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living. It is
about this that I wish to speak to you."

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
