Answer:

C. something that can be molded or shaped

Explanation:

Emerson's essay "Self-Reliance" mostly deals with individualism and the relationship of a non-conformist individual to the society that forces an individual to conform.

Basically, whene Emerson states that "society isn't the measure of all things" he suggests that people should follow their inner voice, follow their heart and instincts, rather than do what society expects them to do, depriving themselves of every spontaneity.

In paragraph 2, he states that people should be "...pious aspirants to be

noble clay plastic under the Almighty effort...".

That basically means that every man should mold their own life from the clay that was given to him and not merely take a shape of whatever society wants him to take, refusing his individuality by doing so.

salantis [7]

Answer:

B). Many servers say they would not like hourly pay because with tipping they can influence how much they make.

Explanation:

A counterargument that aims to refute, oppose, or neglect the previous/given claim made by the author. The given claim asserts that tipping must be stopped and the workers should rather be paid an increased hourly wage and the claim which counters it most adequately would be the servers' opinion in favor of tipping which allows them to make more money per hour. Thus, it refutes the given claim and hence, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer. The other claims(options A and D) either assert negative comments on tipping which justifies the claim instead of refuting it while option C asserts the reason of the claim but does not deny it.
