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.
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1899

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.

Read this passage from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us":
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Working against the natural tendencies of the environment leads to long-term consequences.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph, the theme of green literature is evidenced when the writer references the damage to New York City's topography due to the need to build deep underground subways that double as bomb shelters.

In the second passage, the imagery used by the writer gives a clearer picture of the damage that was done to the environment.

In the first passage, the potential hazard arises because sewer lines have to be pumped uphill with subways below them.

If there is an earthquake, for instance, the entire structure comes crashing down.

In the second passage, the damage was already done, leaving Norwegians with the problem of how to create soils upon which plant fauna could thrive. Had they, managed the tree population by planting more than they were cutting, they probably would have avoided the "<em>green problem".</em>

Cheers
