Question

PLEASE HELP ME I NEED THIS ASAP PLEASE HURRY

Which passage from the story “The Apprentice” most likely would have required research to write?
Select one:
a. One Sunday, Joshua and his father, along with his mother, stood outside the church receiving the congregation as they exited, when a small and gregarious old man, barefoot with gray whiskers approached them. “You got the fiddlinest boy I ever seen in these parts. He had my dogs stompin’ till I plum give out.”
b. Otis was a carpenter. Folks had hired him to build their homes, barns and livestock stables for forty years. He built the general store, the municipal building and the church that stood in the square of Ripplemead, but that was years ago when he was young. Now Otis mostly stayed around his home along the river at the foot of Coal Mountain.
c. The next morning Otis was down by the river at sunrise. As the logs came drifting downstream, he helped the yard sheppard pull his skiff ashore. He was an old friend who was familiar with all the ports up and down the New River. Joshua joined them with Otis’ mule in tow. They began fishing the logs from the river and securing them to the harness to be hauled up to the barn.
d. The next morning Otis had arranged to ride in with Remus Carter and his sons into town. They reached the church and all walked slowly around the Parrish side. Otis knew the Reverend and his wife would be there waiting for service.

Answer 2

The next morning Otis was down by the river at sunrise. As the logs came drifting downstream, he helped the yard sheppard pull his skiff ashore. He was an old friend who was familiar with all the ports up and down the New River. Joshua joined them with Otis’ mule in tow. They began fishing the logs from the river and securing them to the harness to be hauled up to the barn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The detailed description of logging work would have required research into or firsthand knowledge of that type of work. The other passages are works of the imagination, although the second one depends on knowledge of Appalachian mountain dialect.
