Tim is someone's name, and thus, <u>is a proper noun.</u>

Answer:
Wisdom
Explanation:
The father in "The Bundle of Sticks" taught his sons an important lesson on unity. When he noticed that his sons were always quarrelling among themselves, he applied wisdom (the quality of applying good judgement, experience, and knowledge in handling matters) by using a bundle of sticks to teach them an important lesson on unity.
He gave them a bundle of sticks to break individually which they were unable to do. But when he gave them each of the sticks from the bundle, they successfully broke them. He thus taught them that when they are unified no challenge or enemy can overcome them.

The anwer is D) My primary quibble with ear buds is that they are very distracting devices and are therefore dangerous.
This is the sentence that would best serve as a topic sentence for this passage. In the passage, the author focuses on the fact that ear buds can be very distracting. He presents several examples of why this is the case. Moreover, he argues that ear buds can be dangerous, for example, when someone is driving. Option D discusses both of these facts, and therefore, fits the best with the paragraph.
