The correct answer would be the first option: Good leaders treat everyone the same.

This passage tells the story of goatherd that decided to treat better wild goats than his own, just to see if they would decide to stay with him. He had taken all of the goats inside a fold to spend the night and, after the snow, when he took them outside, the wild goats left and told him that they were leaving because he treated them better than the ones that had been with him for such a long time, and that proved he lacked character and wasn't trustworthy. "(...) it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves", the wild goats said, explaining why they chose not to stay with the goatherd. The goatherd's attitudes weren't those of a good leader, who treats everyone the same way and therefore inspires trust. This is why "Good leaders should treat everyone the same" is the theme most exemplified in this passage.

The correct answer couldn't be the second one, "Kindness inspires others to be kind", because, although the goatherd could be considered kind when he decided to take the wild goats inside a shelter along with his own, the story shows his selfish reasons to do so. Thus, the story isn't about inspiring kindness, but about not trusting people who take action based on their own reasons and do not value those around them.

The correct option couldn't be the third one, "Strangers cannot always be trusted", because, although the goatherd was a stranger to the wild goats, the reason why he couldn't be trusted was his showing different treatment towards the goats, by treating better those he didn't know so well, and neglecting those who had been with him for a long time. So, that couldn't be the most exemplified theme in the passage.

The correct option couldn't be the fourth one, "Ingratitude leads to unhappiness", because the wild goats didn't show any signs of ingratitude towards the goatherd, nor became unhappy when they left him. Also, he wasn't necessarily ingrateful with his own goats, he just didn't treat them as well as they deserved. Therefore, this couldn't be the most exemplified theme in the passage.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The most exciting
The strictest
The most crowded

Explanation:

A superlative adjective is defined as a descriptive term used to express that a noun is at the most extreme level it can reach in a given scenario, whether that is in a positive direction or a negative direction.

There are specific rules for using a superlative adjective and see the attachment below for details.

1) What's the most exciting thing you've done this year?

Since there are three or more syllables, [the + most + adjective] should be added.

2) Who's the strictest teacher you've ever had?

What thesis statement could be concluded from Frederick Douglass's "My Bondage and My Freedom"? I am going to be writing a thesi

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

In my opinion the statement could be the one what we have learned from his autobiography.

He called both the owner and slave a victim of the system. We all are bound to the systems, to the expectation of the others. Even after all those years we still don't have such kind of freedom in which we are free to do anything whatever we want to do because we can not use our free will due to the universal pressure, sometime religious pressure, society pressure or sometimes our own fear what will people say.

By his life we can learn nothing is impossible if we have determination to achieve it, if we got the idea, willingness, dream to have it and then the struggle to have it.

He was beaten by white people but nothing can stop him to achieve his freedom. Everything has a price to pay. But unless you don't feel anything wrong from your heart or head nothing can help you to stop it. but first one needs to explore the truth within himself, around himself.

So I think the only best statements can conclude thesis better is;

without struggle, there can be no progress

I prayed for my freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

I don't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do things that I wanted.

Explanation:

It's very hard to select one statement to conclude it but these statements overall cover the main theme of the autobiography.

Frederick Douglass emphasis not on the freedom but the struggles and bearings of the slave what they face for freedom.
