We can deduce here that the line from the passage that best supports the idea that money corrupts government is: "[Men] honor and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him."

<h3>What is a main idea?</h3>

Main idea actually refers to the central lesson or important message that an excerpt, passage, a line or a story is carrying. It refers to the message that the author wishes to pass across to the audience.

We see here that the passage that completes the question is:

The accumulation of gold in the treasury of private individuals is the ruin of timocracy [a state where only property owners can participate in government]; they invent illegal modes of expenditure; for what do they or their wives care about the law? . . . . And then one, seeing another grow rich, seeks to rival him, and thus the great mass of the citizens become lovers of money. . . . And so at last, instead of loving contention and glory, men become lovers of trade and money; they honor and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him, and dishonor the poor man.

Thus, the line that best supports the idea that that money corrupts government is "[Men] honor and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him."

What does A1 Gore, author of an inconvenient truth, demonstrate about the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:<u> </u><u>The correct option is B:</u>

<em>Each year.CO2 level increases at a faster rate. Over the past 50 years, it has nearly doubled.</em>

In "<em>An inconvenient truth</em>", A1 Gore illustrates clearly how the levels of CO2 has been increasing rapidly in the atmosphere since 1958, and proves that the increasing of the carbon dioxide emissions are a result of human actions. He explains this theory by presenting the Keeling curve, which shows that the last 14 years were the hottest ever recorded in the atmosphere, as well as other important studies proving the correlation between global warming and hurricanes.

This is because you are comparing the similarities between two things. The other words either contrast the two things or explain the relationship instead of comparing it.

Chapter 10 summary the outsiders pls
NARA [144]
After Johnny’s death, Ponyboy wanders alone for hours until a man offers him a ride. The man asks Ponyboy if he is okay and tells him that his head is bleeding. Ponyboy feels vaguely disoriented. At home, he finds the greasers gathered in the living room and tells them that Johnny is dead and that Dally has broken down. Dally calls and says he just robbed a grocery store and is running from the police. The gang rushes out and sees police officers chasing him. Dally pulls out the unloaded gun he carries, and the police shoot him. Dally collapses to the ground, dead. Ponyboy muses that Dally wanted to die. Feeling dizzy and overwhelmed, Ponyboy passes out.

When Ponyboy wakes, Darry is at his side. Ponyboy learns that he got a concussion when a Soc kicked him in the head during the rumble, and that he has been delirious in bed for three days.

Analysis: Chapters 9–10
Underlying the struggle between the Socs and the greasers is the struggle between the instinct to make peace and the social obligation to fight. Hinton turns the rumble into a moral lesson. The fight begins when Darry Curtis and Paul Holden face off; the fact that Darry and Paul were high school friends and football teammates suggests that their rivalry need not exist—that money makes enemies of natural friends. Ponyboy’s comment that they used to be friends but now dislike each other because one has to work for a living while the other comes from the leisurely West Side emphasizes the artificial and unnecessary nature of their animosity. While this animosity seems pointless, each gang member who fights still feels a responsibility to his gang to hate the other gang.

Ponyboy feels this tension within him before the fight. His instincts tell him to skip the rumble, as he knows in his heart that violence won’t solve anything. His hesitation after speaking with Randy and his decision to take five aspirin before the fight show that he is emotionally and physically unprepared for the ordeal. Nevertheless, Ponyboy ignores his instincts and goes through with the fight because he wants to please his social group. His participation in the rumble cements his place in the gang; he is no longer a tagalong little brother but rather a fighter in his own right.
