The answer to the question is B.
Please give feedback on my answer. Thanks.
Answer:
Too much respect for law leads people to do many unjust things, as war illustrates: Soldiers become only a shadow of their humanity; the government shapes them into machines. Soldiers have no opportunity to exercise moral sense, reduced to the existence comparable to that of a horse or dog. Yet these men are often called good citizens.
Explanation:
This paragraph is from Civil Disobediance by Henry David Thoreau, and my answer of <em>"Too much respect for law leads people to do many unjust things, as war illustrates: Soldiers become only a shadow of their humanity; the government shapes them into machines. Soldiers have no opportunity to exercise moral sense, reduced to the existence comparable to that of a horse or dog. Yet these men are often called good citizens" </em>conveys the summary.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. I'll omit the passage, since it is the same:
What does the phrase "nor become popular enough with the English to hitch a ride" tell readers about the potato?
1. People in England preferred eating Indian turnips and groundnuts to eating potatoes.
2. People in England did not like the potato enough to bring it with them on the Mayflower.
3. People in England were planning to take the potato with them on the Mayflower but changed their minds.
4. People in England did not like eating potatoes because the potato had been introduced by the Spanish.
Answer:
The phrase tell readers:
2. People in England did not like the potato enough to bring it with them on the Mayflower.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt, the potato did not reach the popularity it has nowadays for quite some time. It was introduced to Europeans around 1570,<u> but it was not liked enough for the English to want to bring it with them on the Mayflower. That is what the phrase "nor become popular enough with the English to hitch a ride" means. The potato did not "hitch a ride", meaning it was not taken back home with the English</u>. As a matter of fact, even in America - watch out because option 1 tries to make us confuse England and New England - the native inhabitants would eat other plant roots, but not the potato.
