Read the following excerpt from "Resistance to Civil Government" in which Thoreau argues that a person should disobey the govern

ment when its laws go against his or her conscience:
I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put into a jail once on this account, for one night; and, as I stood considering the walls of solid stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if I were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be locked up.
How does this excerpt best support Thoreau's argument?
A. It uses pathos to create a sense of fear of the government.
B. It uses his history of disobeying the government to illustrate logos.
C. It uses his personal experience of civil disobedience to build ethos.
D. It uses parallelism to show his disdain for being jailed for a minor crime

The choice that most accurately represents the argument of Thoreau is the third option. It effectively uses his personal experience of civil disobedience to establish credibility. I hope my response is helpful. God bless, and have a great day!

ddd [6233]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question can have multiple reasonable responses.

We know that Eva possesses a veterinary license and has recently established her own practice. Although the text doesn't explicitly state it, we can deduce that she has housing in either an apartment or a rented space. With a current living arrangement, the urgency to save for a home diminishes, even if she aspires to own a house in the future.

I believe option #3 is the most suitable choice, as she is setting her priorities and transitioning from short-term to long-term objectives. Homeownership involves considerable investment and saving over time. While the specific amount of her student debt is not mentioned, we can infer that since her practice is operational, she will likely manage to repay her loans on time while also saving for a home. Although option #4 could be a valid point, I still feel that option #3 stands out as the best choice.

I believe one comma might be unnecessary in the sentence, and there might be a missing period at the end.

However, I'm not entirely confident since I haven't studied much about nonrestrictive or nonessential phrases.
