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.

never [62]

<span>The epigrams from the Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of being Earnest” are first and last statement. Epigram is a brief, satiric, memorable statement which expresses an idea in an amusing way. Oscar Wild used epigrams to expose the hypocrisy of upper class from Victorian era. In the first statement ( "In married life three is company and two is none." (Algernon)) Wilde alludes that marriage is a business deal containing property, wealth, and status. In the last statement (“More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn’t read.”) Wilde makes fun of the whole Victorian idea of morality, strict codes of what people should and shouldn’t do.</span>

Which sentence in this excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "Solitude of Self" conveys that it is important for women to
Sonbull [250]

Answer: The education that will fit her to discharge the duties in the largest sphere of human usefulness will best fit her for whatever special work she may be compelled to do.

In this excerpt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton complains of the fact that women's education is determined by her relationships to other people as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives. This is true even when women do not fulfill these roles (for example, unmarried or childless women). This is different from the education of men, which is pursued by considering him an individual in his own right. She argues that, whatever work women decided to perform, their being educated would allow them to perform them in a much better way than if they were ignorant.
