Answer:

Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.

Explanation:

Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.

He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.

Read the sentence.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is "two-thirds".

Explanation:

In English, we use "hyphen" (punctuation mark) to join two or more words. These should not be confused with "dashes", who are a longer punctuation mark and have other uses like separate explanatory phrases.

Hyphens are used to join words or terms to avoid confusions and they are written with no space between them and the words. In some cases, they are used to preserve the text's clarity: when adding a prefix (great-grandmother) or when the final and initial letters coincide (co-operate).

In this specific case, "two-thirds" is a fraction, so the hyphens are used to let know the relation between these two words instead of reading them as separated numbers.
