- Read the poem, then answer the question. Paper Boat I fold the math worksheet into a ship, creased corners sharp as new decisions. The sink is an ocean, small but deep, and the faucet's drip keeps time. My brother laughs in the doorway, but he doesn't step inside. He holds my missing pencil like a flag and waits for me to ask. The boat circles once, then tips, soaking numbers into gray. I rescue it with two fingers, pretending I meant it to sink. Later, I smooth the paper flat, write the problems again—slower. In the margin, a tiny sail remains, pointing toward tomorrow. The poem suggests that the speaker is trying to hide embarrassment about making a mistake. Which detail best supports this idea?
