Answer:
directly quoting the text
Explanation:
I am doing it right now.
Hi, the answer would be D - direct object. It cannot be the subject, because the subject of the sentence is "the essay". It isn't object of a preposition, as there is no preposition there. It is not a possessive, and given that this adjectival clause is a part of "the mountain", which is a direct object, it must be a direct object as well.
The correct answer is: A. Sooner or later we must all accept our obligation to future generations.
A persuasive essay is an essay that aims to convince the reader of a certain point of view and its superiority over opposing points of view. In the sentence, "Sooner or later we must all accept our obligation to future generations", the author is summing up his argument and persuading the readers to accept their "...obligation to future generations". Option B, C and D are not conclusions to a persuasive essay because they either state personal opinions or contain subjective claims.
B. Indirect Object
That should be it
