Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe Being the third

son of the family and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as house-education and a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law; but I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea; and my inclination to this led me so strongly against the will, nay, the commands of my father, and against all the entreaties and persuasions of my mother and other friends, that there seemed to be something fatal in that propensity of nature, tending directly to the life of misery which was to befall me. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? Even in that time, children and parents disagreed about what was best for the future. Unlike today, children in that time did exactly what their parents wanted them to do. It was unusual in that time for children to take on their parents' careers, as they do today. Children who grew up in that time had their careers decided upon from their birth.

Answer:

The historical context of the writing demonstrates that even in that time, children and parents disagreed about what was best for the future

Explanation:

This excerpt describes a very common situation that as we can see has been a constant through time, parents and kids not always agree on what is the correct path for their lives, commonly, the dreams of the kids or what it could be called true calling is the total opposite of what their parents have always wanted for them.

Which statement best describes the purpose of planning for research?
Anton [14]

Answer:

It helps you figure out what you want to investigate and how.

Explanation:

In the world of academic writing, or for that matter, any form of writing a research paper, it is pertinent to have a plan at first. This planning will ensure the proper process of taking things into consideration, what to do, how to do, what should be the main point of focus, and all.

The very purpose of planning any research is to make sure that the main points that are to constitute the investigation are well thought of. This will ensure there are enough and valid resources to take the investigation further, and that due process is followed. It will also help the people or person involved to figure out the how, when, why, and what of the investigation that is to be done.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Give me a specific example of a good leader and what makes them good leaders:
mart [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

for someone to be a good leader, they would need to be responsible, understanding, a good listener, and a fair person. You do not want a leader who will not listen to your thoughts or opinions. You also don't want a leader who will not understand the thoughts you and others might have. Rather they agree with them or not. (I wrote this myself). Brainlist please/
