Read the excerpt from Utopia. But after the ambassadors had stayed a day among them, and saw so vast a quantity of gold in their

houses (which was as much despised by them as it was esteemed in other nations), and beheld more gold and silver in the chains and fetters of one slave than all their ornaments amounted to, their plumes fell, and they were ashamed of all that glory for which they had formed valued themselves, and accordingly laid it aside . . . This detail supports the central idea that riches are not important to Utopians. It is best described as a(n) fact. analogy. anecdote. example.

The correct answer is "It is best described as an anecdote".

We consider an anecdote to be a personal account or retelling of a particular event or incident. The key word here is "personal". In the example given, we clearly see how <u>the point of view is from the protagonist of a certain personal experience he had and the way he felt about it, constituting it as an anecdote.</u>

We don't know for a fact Utopians don't care about riches, because we're only getting a single man's experience which in addition, cannot be proven.

An analogy recquires some sort of strong comparisson of metaphor that isn't really present in this excerpt.


Hope this helps!

This is a quote by Elizabeth Proctor.

It is an important quote from <em>The Crucible </em>(1953) by Arthur Miller, a play that explores the story of the Salem witch trials in Massachussets in 1692.

In the play, Elizabeth Proctor is accused of witchcraft by Abigail Williams, her husband's mistress. In that way, the quote is from Elizabeth to John. In this excerpt of the play, she is talking about Abigail, who apparently wants to take Elizabeth's place. Therefore, Elizabeth uses these words to explain her husband that his mistress accuses her of witchcraft because she is motivated by jealously.
