My name is Ann [436]3 years ago

Answer:

There are many important qualities needed to be successful.

Explanation:

In order for a paragraph to have unity or coherence, it is important that all the sentences in it be related to the topic sentence or provide more specific information about the topic sentence. In the paragraph, the sentence “Personal initiative is one of life's greatest freebies” is the topic sentence (it summarizes the main idea of the paragraph). Most sentences add up to that main idea by describing what it means personal initiative, by laying out the benefits of having it, etc. But the sentence “There are many important qualities needed to be successful” is off-topic: it does not say anything that can be related to personal initiative.

Which statement best illustrates Siddhartha Gautama’s view toward wealth?
34kurt

The BEST answer is:

d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.

While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others. He said of wealth, "A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit."

Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.
