Which sentence in this excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" implicitly argues that people need to think indep

endently and question authority? I believe that the State will soon be able to take all my work of this sort out of my hands, and then I shall be no better a patriot than my fellow-countrymen. Seen from a lower point of view, the Constitution, with all its faults, is very good; the law and the courts are very respectable; even this State and this American government are, in many respects, very admirable and rare things, to be thankful for, such as a great many have described them; but seen from a point of view a little higher, they are what I have described them; seen from a higher still, and the highest, who shall say what they are, or that they are worth looking at or thinking of at all? However, the government does not concern me much, and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live under a government, even in this world. If a man is thought-free, fancy-free, imagination-free, that which is not never for a long time appearing to be to him, unwise rulers or reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.

The sentence in this excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" which implicitly argues that people need to think independently and question authority is : "seen from a higher still, and the highest, who shall say what they are, or that they are worth looking at or thinking of at all?". Here he points out on the main lacks in society and asks this question in order to persuade people to think deeper than they used to, or deeper than the media and politicians told them to. His message is that people have to shape their own opinions based on their own mids.

Volgvan
<span>The answer to the question is, "It seems that Kahlo's parents did not care about their daughter." This statement is asserting a subjective opinion that is open to interpretation depending on the overall emotion of the reader and author. The other statements, "Frida Kahlo's parents did not visit her in the hospital. The Kahlo family struggled with poverty and other issues. Matita, Frida's sister, came frequently to help at the hospital," are just asserting facts, not opinions.</span>

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

The key in Risk Management is to make a well-informed decision to have the greatest possibility of avoiding damages or to be able to control them if they happen.  

In the example, even if a wire fence has been installed to keep wild marine life outside of the swimming area, the best to do is to confirm if the suitable authorities have approved that fence so we are sure, first of all that swimming is really safe and, that in front of an undesirable event, we will have someone to whom raise a claim against.
