which paragraphs from the excerpt best support the conclusion that the author primary’s purpose is to teach a lesson
kow [346]

Read the excerpt from "The Three Questions" by Leo Tolstoy.

All the answers being different, the King agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. But still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.

The hermit lived in a wood which he never quitted, and he received none but common folk. So the King put on simple clothes, and before reaching the hermit's cell dismounted from his horse, and, leaving his body-guard behind, went on alone.

When the King approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. Seeing the King, he greeted him and went on digging. The hermit was frail and weak, and each time he stuck his spade into the ground and turned a little earth, he breathed heavily.

The King went up to him and said: "I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?"

The hermit listened to the King, but answered nothing. He just spat on his hand and recommenced digging.

"You are tired," said the King, "let me take the spade and work awhile for you."

C)“When the King approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. Seeing the King, he greeted him and went on digging. The hermit was frail and weak, and each time he stuck his spade into the ground and turned a little earth, he breathed heavily.”

D)“The King went up to him and said: ‘I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?’”

E)“The hermit listened to the King, but answered nothing. He just spat on his hand and recommenced digging.”

“All the answers being different, the King agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. But still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.”

“The King went up to him and said: ‘I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?’”

Answer: Options A and D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Paragraph A sets up the state of mind for the story, telling you the lord is both unsatisfied and ready to go further to get this subtle data he looks for. This sets up a book that will for sure give you some data, in all likelihood as an exercise.

Paragraph option D also helps to understand this purpose of the author that the purpose was to teach. In that option the author shows that the king asks the hermit that what can he do for the welfare and the betterment of the people, what can he teach them.

What is A freshman like<br><br> What should i do to prepare
irinina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

If you are talking about freshmen year for highschool, it is actually not too terrible. The only thing you wanna be good at is keeping your grades up. Middle school grades are useless but highschool grades affect your chances for going to your desired school or getting scholarships/grants for higher education such as college. I know TONS of people who slacked off their freshmen year and regretted cuz their gpa took a hit during the first year.

Best way to avoid this would be to be on top of your game. You can still enjoy life but prioritizing studies is important as well. Being part of clubs on school also makes the transition easier from middle school to high school. Sometimes it feels like everyone is watching you but honestly everyone is busy with their own stuff so do not ever feel embarrased or scared or anything like that. Make good friends and build good relationship with your teachers. I can go on and on but hopefully you get the gist.

In "The Pardoner's Tale," how does the Pardoner use his story to accumulate wealth for himself? What does this say about him?
AveGali [126]
The Pardoner tells a tale about avarice. Three young men seek Death and find gold under a tree. Each of them wants the gold for himself. The youngest has to go to town to bring some food and wine; the other two plot to kill him and share his part of the gold, but he has the same plan for them - he is going to poison their wine. When he arrives, they kill him indeed, but still drink his wine, which gets them killed. So, all three men manage to meet Death, guided by their avarice.

By telling this tale, the Pardoner doesn't want to hide his intentions - to trick people into giving him money. He openly admits that he is after their money, and will do everything necessary to make them pay for the false relics and the indulgences. His main message is that money is the root of all evil. So, even though he is greedy, it is still a sin that needs to be absolved. The Pardoner is a cunning person who relies on the power of stories to make people act in a certain way. People are afraid of the Last Judgment, and he knows that. People will pay for pardon, even though they know that they are paying to the sinner. He knows and takes advantage of that fact.
