We can deduce here that the line from the passage that best supports the idea that money corrupts government is: "[Men] honor and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him."
<h3>What is a main idea?</h3>
Main idea actually refers to the central lesson or important message that an excerpt, passage, a line or a story is carrying. It refers to the message that the author wishes to pass across to the audience.
We see here that the passage that completes the question is:
The accumulation of gold in the treasury of private individuals is the ruin of timocracy [a state where only property owners can participate in government]; they invent illegal modes of expenditure; for what do they or their wives care about the law? . . . . And then one, seeing another grow rich, seeks to rival him, and thus the great mass of the citizens become lovers of money. . . . And so at last, instead of loving contention and glory, men become lovers of trade and money; they honor and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him, and dishonor the poor man.
Thus, the line that best supports the idea that that money corrupts government is "[Men] honor and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him."

Answer:
o F. which /that
The city__(which)__had the largest population was Baghdad__(that)__ruled a large part of the ancient world.
Inferred you are referring to literary work.
Explanation:
Note that the writer uses the forest to paint how one would actually feel if one is alone in the forest, using the castle tower room gives the reader the idea about feeling unsafe in a seemingly safe place.
The symbolic significance of the forest setting tells us that the speaker may either be dreaming and as such be in an unconscious state of mind.
Thus, the speaker is frightened to the core because of his perceived ordeal in place of isolation–the forest.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
Mr. H. quickly began talking to his contacts in the city. Soon he heard of a British printer in Mexico City who had been falsely arrested for printing counterfeit money. Mr. H. Intervened with the British minister, who got the frightened printer released from custody and the charges against him dropped. The printer, overjoyed to be free, told Mr. H. that he would welcome the opportunity to repay the agent for his intervention. As a matter of fact, Mr. H. told him, there was a favor the printer could do for him
Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt?
A. Mr. H. knew the printer would help them upon release from prison B. Mr. H. was very concerned for the falsely imprisoned printer. C. Mr. H. and the printer had known each other for a long time. D. Mr. H. originally had not intended to employ the printer's help.
Answer:
A.) Mr. H. Knew the printer would help them upon release in the prison.
Explanation:
In the text above, we can see that Mr. H. needed the services of a printer and when he heard of one who was imprisoned, unfairly, he went to great lengths to free the printer. He did this with second intentions, because if the printer was falsely accused and someone released him, the printer would be very grateful and would not refuse to help that someone out of gratitude.
In other words, we can say that this excerpt shows us that Mr. H. knew that the printer would help them after their release in prison.
