Answer:
The answer is "d" To teach that it's the little things in life that count.
Explanation:
The passage is about a person who feels guilty about paying attention to the wrong things in his/her life. That person thought that expensive things were the ones that had sense in his/her life but she or he discovered that little things are the ones that count to be happy in this life. So answer "d" which says <em>"To teach that it's the little things in life that count"</em> is the answer that summarizes the passage.
The answer is: creating an analogy.
An analogy is a comparison between two things, based on their structure and for explanatory or clarification purposes.

According to a study done by the journal PNAS, the average American underestimated how much water they use by about 50%. Is it a shock to you then to find out that we use about 80-100 gallons of water daily? That much water can fill up the average bathtub nearly 4 times! Wether this be to flush toilets, wash dishes, hands or showers, or even growing food, we obviously need to be more considerate about how much water we use.
