If you are rich and worth your salt, you will teach your [children] that [if] they have leisure it is not to be spent in idlenes

s; for wisely used leisure merely means that those who possess it, being free from the necessity of working for their livelihood, are all the more bound to carry on some kind of nonremunerative [unpaid] work in science, in letters, in art, in exploration, in historical research--work of the type we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation.

Answer:

C). Exemplification.

Explanation:

'Exemplification' is demonstrated as the process of presenting an idea through examples or illustrations in order to make it more clear, understandable, and persuasive.

The given excerpt from Roosevelt's 1899 speech 'Strenuous life' uses the 'exemplification' method to represent his ideas more impactfully and convincingly to the audience. The use of various examples like 'worth your salt', 'wisely used leisure', etc. helps in clarifying his central idea behind this speech i.e. to show the benefits of a strenuous life not only on an individual but on the entire nation as it is the one 'we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation'. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

<span>Odysseus and his crew sail to the region of the Men of Winter and, per Kirke's instructions, make a ritual sacrifice for Teiresias. While waiting for Teiresias, Odysseus cuts down the other phantoms that emerge, including Elpenor, who had fallen from Kirke's roof. Odysseus promises him a proper sailor's burial back on Kirke's island. He also sees his dead mother, Antikleia. Odysseus thought his mother was alive so he is pretty sad and begins to cry.</span>
