Answer:

In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau suggests the townspeople have to<u> change their beliefs</u> before they can be as free as he is.

Explanation:

In his  "Civil Disobedience" essay (1849), Henry David Thoreau criticizes American social institutions, the corruption of the government and its practice of aggressive war (like the Mexican-American War) and its pro-slavery policies.

Likewise, he argues in favor of disobedience when the state is unjust and overrules people's consciences, and claims that "government is best which governs not at all" but men will only have this type of government, have the ability to govern themselves and be as free as he is when they change their beliefs.

Which sentence best describes the character of Virgil as he is portrayed in the Inferno?
ad-work [718]
I would say answer choice C is correct. He's not apathetic or uncaring, he's actually quite kind, especially to Dante. He covers his eyes for him when they are near Medusa. He's also definitely not depressed or seeking a way out desperately, he seems to be accepting of his fate and condition. And he's not overbearingly eager or glad, either, he's just polite.
