Excerpt from the Life of sSwift Samuel Johnson story: Of this disgrace it may be easily supposed that he was much ashamed, and s

hame had its proper effect in producing reformation. He resolved from that time to study eight hours a day, and continued his industry for seven years, with what improvement is sufficiently known. This part of his story well deserves to be remembered; it may afford useful admonition and powerful encouragement to men whose abilities have been made for a time useless by their passions or pleasures, and who having lost one part of life in idleness, are tempted to throw away the remainder in despair. In this course of daily application he continued three years longer at dublin; and in this time, if the observation and memory of an old companion may be trusted, he drew the first sketch of his "tale of a tub." What does the author mean when he refers to "men whose abilities have been made for a time useless by their passions or pleasures, and who having lost one part of life in idleness, are tempted to throw away the remainder in despair"?

Answer:

The author means that Men who waste their opportunities, then grow mopey

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the necessary information to answer it. Here is the information:

A) Men who wish for fame, but end up in infamy.

B) Men who strive for success, then get distracted.

C) Men who waste their opportunities, then grow mopey

D) Men who take advantage of opportunities, then grow content

This excerpt describes men who have had chances in life as well and plenty of abilities to do great with their days, but as the moments are not fully seized, later life as years pass by, they become sad as they look at the past and notice all the precious time that they let go and that will never come back, as well as the few good moments that will remain as a constant of the lost plenty of youth.
