Answer:

d. spend as much time developing the mind as developing the body.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author wants to persuade the reader to devote as much time developing the mind as he or she does developing the body. The author tells us that as humans, we spend an enormous amount of time tricking the body in several ways, such as being full. We employ many people, from the milkman to the pig-killer, in order to satisfy this desire. However, we need no outside help to develop the mind, and this is a much more delicate machine. Therefore, it requires just as much attention.

d. spend as much time developing the mind as developing the body.

The author begins the paragraph with the statement that a person should "put the mind through its paces". This mean that a person should give their mind a stretch or a work out. The author then describes how a person would take care of his body by shaving, drinking milk, and eating pork. The author connects this to his main idea by saying if you take care of your body this well, shouldn't you also take care of your mind just the same? The author does not talk about worrying about food or working too much. While the author does mention how people take care of their bodies, the purpose is only to show that it is important to take care of the mind too.

D is something teenagers would actually think about for more then a second.
