Each color represents a different stage of human life.
Blue for birth. Purple is a sign of growth. Green for youth. Orange for the summer and autumn of life. White for age. Violet for darkness and death. Black for death.

Part A: Which of the following best describes a central idea of the text? A. Revenge is a moral and legal crime. B. Revenge and
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

D. To dwell on revenge is to dwell in the past, never moving forward, and therefore overall not worth the effort.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the essay <em>Of Revenge</em> written by Francis Bacon, an English philosopher and statesman from the 16th and 17th centuries. In his essay, he tells about his opinion on revenge. He believes that people are not supposed to take revenge on others, but turn to the law. It's up to the law to decide what punishment someone who has harmed us deserves. He states that a person who forgives and doesn't take revenge is morally superior and more likely to heal and move on.

The central idea of the text is that revenge is a thing of the past. To dwell on revenge is to dwell in the past, never moving forward, and therefore overall not worth the effort. We can make this conclusion based on the following line: <em>That which is past is gone, and irrevocable; and wise men have enough to do with things present and to come: therefore they do but trifle with themselves, that labour in past matters.  </em>

This is why option D is the correct one.

Read this excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:

B. It supports the myth by providing real facts about the custom of antelope hunting by the Kiowas.


Immediately options C and D should be eliminated. In the excerpt there is no mention of teepees or winter so these are not valid answers. This leaves option A and B. The difference between the two is that Option A says the description is from a personal point of view. A personal point of view should be written in first person with the pronouns I, me, my. The excerpt is written from third person point of view so it is not option A.
