Answer:

d. spend as much time developing the mind as developing the body.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author wants to persuade the reader to devote as much time developing the mind as he or she does developing the body. The author tells us that as humans, we spend an enormous amount of time tricking the body in several ways, such as being full. We employ many people, from the milkman to the pig-killer, in order to satisfy this desire. However, we need no outside help to develop the mind, and this is a much more delicate machine. Therefore, it requires just as much attention.

d. spend as much time developing the mind as developing the body.

The author begins the paragraph with the statement that a person should "put the mind through its paces". This mean that a person should give their mind a stretch or a work out. The author then describes how a person would take care of his body by shaving, drinking milk, and eating pork. The author connects this to his main idea by saying if you take care of your body this well, shouldn't you also take care of your mind just the same? The author does not talk about worrying about food or working too much. While the author does mention how people take care of their bodies, the purpose is only to show that it is important to take care of the mind too.

What makes the ending of "The Necklace" Ironic? Atleast a one paragraph response!
tatuchka [14]
The necklace is ironic in the fact that when the necklace is borrowed it is believed to be a real diamond necklace. When she loses the "diamond necklace" she works very long to repay the person she borrowed from because she thinks the necklace she lost was worth much money. When she gives the money to the person she borrowed from and confesses that she lost it she was told that the necklace was a fake and that she worried and worked for many years over nothing. This is an example of situational irony. She thought the necklace was worth very much money when it was really only worth very little

write three to four sentences in which you compare and contrast seamus heaney’s poem “digging” and the haiku by bashō
vodomira [7]

In terms of structure, the poems are very different. The haiku is only three lines long and discusses a single moment in time; “Digging” is much longer, has many stanzas, and jumps between time periods. There are some ways in which the poems are similar, however. For example, the speakers of both poems discuss how their writing is related to and inspired by farming or gardening.
