Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. "A tiger dies and leaves a skin. A man dies and leaves a name

." This ancient Chinese proverb illustrates the fundamental quality of man that distinguishes him from the animals—the power to think and reason. He can decide what his future will hold. In the molding and shaping of his life, man exerts an influence on all whom he encounters. He has the ability to choose the type of influence he will have. A tiger, unlike a man, has no control over either his environment or his destiny. Though he is a majestic animal that prowls the jungle with pride and assurance, terrorizing both man and beast, his actions are governed only by the laws of nature. His death leaves the world unchanged; he exerts no lasting influence. When a man dies, however, he may continue to influence others through his accomplished goals and through the traits and ideas he has passed on. Which of the following generalizations is justified based on the facts given in the preceding paragraph? The author believes one person can make a difference. Tigers are a menace. Man has the ability to reason.

Man has the ability to reason.



Why I don't think the others are correct:

The author's focus never indicates a singular person. While the author did mention the tiger's ability to terrorize, the author does not go as far to claim the tiger is a menace.

When participating in a group discussion, a good group member maintains a balance between a). Speaking and listening. b). Summar
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

When participating in a group discussion, a good group member maintains a balance between:

a) Speaking and listening

<em>The point of a discussion is to interchange ideas about a specific topic. Therefore, one needs to speak in order to add to the discussion but; it is also important to know when to be quiet and simply listen. A good listener pays attention to what others are saying, this might include taking notes. However, taking notes does not necessarily contribute to a discussion. In a discussion whenever one speaks one needs to back up one's claims with facts and in the end, it is necessary to summarize the main ideas. Nevertheless, summarizing is not a key factor of a good group member that participates in a discussion. </em>

Examine Dr. Faustus’s status as a tragic hero. Does he deserve this label? Explain your answer. Your answer should be at least 1
Virty [35]

Dr Faustus can be considered a tragic hero for various reasons. Firstly, we can conclude that he is not completely bad or evil, he just makes a critical error and decides to sell his soul to the devil due to his thirst for knowledge. This makes us relate to him due to his imperfect nature and hunger for knowledge and consequently we pity him more. Secondly, he is of high standing and is a great scholar, which makes us question how these things can happen to such people and this makes his tragic destiny seem even more gloomy to us. When we look at Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero where he defines him as someone not 100% good or bad who makes us feel sorry for their miserable fate, the character of Faustus fits this definition perfectly. All in all, his human vices paired with his inquisitive nature are the main reasons why we are obliged to consider Dr Faustus a tragic hero.

kow [346]
I'd choose dark, inaccessible, and comfortless. The other words don't really pin down the tone ("draperies"? "General"?).
