In order to know how someone is (or their character) you must put them in power. if you give someone power it is easier to see what their motive is.

Yes, this question is hard to explain, so let me try.  Sometimes men think power is their only advantage.  You can see examples, like when the 37th president Nixon thought since he was the president, the had the right to keep his conversations secret.  But this is not true, no one is above the power of law.  Any who, men change their personality when they are given power.  They think differently, and act differently.  Sometimes this is yet a bad thing, other time a good thing.  But this quote is trying to say, power brings out a mans inner self.

Sir Isaac Newton was contemplating the universe in his garden one day in 1665 when he noticed an apple fall from a tree. Newton
jonny [76]
<h2>Answer: D (or A, but I believe it's D)</h2>

                                                 Explanations

"A. A falling apple inspired Newton to think about gravity." Yes this is true, but instead of only thinking about it, he expressed his law of universal gravitation, etc. I understand how this could be the answer though. :>

"B. Gravity is when objects are pulled to the Earth." This is true aswell, but the text gives off more information than just what Gravity is. Newton is a big part of the text. Mostly the main character but narrating in third person.

"C. Newton wrote a series of books called Principia." Newton did this, but this isn't the main idea. If it was, the text would've explained more about it. This is more of a detail or maybe key detail.

"D. Newton discovers gravity.' I choose this as the correct answer because, the text talks about Newton discovering gravity, and when using the word discover in this, it's also like saying he discovered gravity from a falling apple, and contemplated about gravity.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph? The ideals of individualism and community are no longer part
Ilya [14]

It depends on what that paragraph says. I don't have sufficient context to provide a solid answer.

If I had to guess, your paragraph was most likely about the conflict between ideals of individualism and community.
