d. spend as much time developing the mind as developing the body.
The author begins the paragraph with the statement that a person should "put the mind through its paces". This mean that a person should give their mind a stretch or a work out. The author then describes how a person would take care of his body by shaving, drinking milk, and eating pork. The author connects this to his main idea by saying if you take care of your body this well, shouldn't you also take care of your mind just the same? The author does not talk about worrying about food or working too much. While the author does mention how people take care of their bodies, the purpose is only to show that it is important to take care of the mind too.

(A) Halting
For the meaning of word "checking," you can turn to the ending simile. Ask yourself, what would a chain do? Someone pulling a chain connected to you would not support or improve your walking, eliminating the last two answers. A chain "dismissing" you wouldn't really make sense either. However, a chain would halt, or prohibit, your step, thus, "halting" makes the most sense.
Answer:
The sentence that best describes what the settings have in common is:
D. The settings of both stories move from open to confined spaces.
Explanation:
We can find the answer to this question through an elimination process.
Letter A is incorrect. Is it only the story "The Cask of Amontillado" that happens in an European city during Carnival.
Letter B is also wrong. Since we know one of the stories takes place in Europe, and only there, it is not possible for both of them to be set in America.
Letter C is incorrect. The stories move from light to darkness, and not the opposite.
<u>We are left with letter D, the correct option. Both stories have settings that move from open to confined spaces. In "The Cask of Amontillado", the characters are first out in the streets. Then, they move into the catacombs of Montresor's family. In "The Black Cat", the narrator was first a free man. The story moves from a house into a cellar. Finally, the narrator ends up in a prison cell. Therefore, both stories end up with their characters in more confined, dark spaces.</u>
