Answer:

1. So, in the end, above ground you must have the Haves, pursuing pleasure and comfort and beauty, and below ground the Have-nots, the Workers getting continually adapted to the conditions of their labor. 

This represents society and class. As you can see here, the Haves are those people who live on the surface and enjoy the fruits of somebody else's labor. On the other hand, the Have-nots live underground and have to work hard to provide for the Haves.

2. We improve our favorite plants and animals—and how few they are—gradually by selective breeding; now a new and better peach, now a seedless grape, now a sweeter and larger flower, now a more convenient breed of cattle. 

I believe this excerpt represents humankind and nature, particularly the way we treat nature. We are not satisfied with its current state, so we are constantly trying to change it and make it suit our needs better. Our attitude towards nature is arguably a wrong one.

3. Plainly, this second species of Man was subterranean. There were three circumstances in particular which made me think that its rare emergence above ground was the outcome of a long-continued underground habit. In the first place, there was the bleached look common in most animals that live largely in the dark—the white fish of the Kentucky caves, for instance.

In my opinion, this excerpts is talking about evolution. You can see that in the beginning, all people (the second species) lived underground, however, over time, they managed to evolve and emerge to the surface and start a new life there.

Reread lines 1152-1192. What excuse does Creon give for refusing to listen to Teiresias’s advice?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Tiresias tells him that as he refuses to bury Polynices and his punishment of Antigone for the same reason, god will curse people of Thebes. On hearing this, Creon calls him a false prophet and refuse to list to his advice.

Explanation:

In ''The Oedipus Plays'', Tiresias is the blind soothsayer of Thebes. Creon decided that he will listen to Teiresias’s advice as he owes so much to his past advice.  Tiresias tells him that as he refuses to bury Polynices and his punishment of Antigone for the same reason, god will curse people of Thebes. On hearing this, Creon calls him a false prophet and refuse to list to his advice.

What kind of answer is this pre-reading question likely to have
Shtirlitz [24]
Umm, I'm kind of confused about the question, but I would assume that if, for example, I was taking an exam an pre-read the questions before answering, that I would be more prepared to answer, and therefore have a slightly better chance of getting the answer right...? I'm not really sure.

Which statement best describes the repeated use of the word consistency in the passage?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A. Emerson repeats the word consistency to emphasize his disapproval of compliant thinking.

Explanation:

In the book, 'Self Reliance', by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the author talked about people who wanted to be consistent in their actions. This consistency stems from the fact that they wanted to always please people who know them by certain actions or ways of life in the past. Since they do not want to be seen in a different light, they fall back to a consistent lifestyle in order to be consistent from others perspective.

Emerson condemned such compliant thinking because he was an advocate of people not being limited in their thinking. People, he believed should be able to explore and reason extensively. They should also learn from their mistakes at their own pace, not conforming to the ideas or dictates of others.
