Read the excerpt below and answer the question. I therefore filled all the little spaces, that occurred between the remarkable d

ays in the Calendar, with proverbial sentences, chiefly such as inculcated industry and frugality, as the means of procuring wealth, and thereby securing virtue; it being more difficult for a man in want to act always honestly, as (to use here one of those proverbs), "It is hard for an empty sack to stand upright." —Benjamin Franklin, "The Way to Wealth," 1758 Which of the following best explains the phrase, "it being more difficult for a man in want to act always honestly"?

From the options given, the statement that best explains the given phrase is this: WEALTH MAKES PEOPLE VIRTUOUS. The reference made to the inability of an empty sack to stand upright also lends to this, because when a sack is filled up, it becomes easy for it to stand upright. That is to say, may a man has wealth, it's easy to be virtuous.

Okay. Say you can bake a cake. Say you can ride a bike. You can make a paper airplane. A cootie-catcher. Anything, you can make anything. What you would have to do it tell how you make it, and from the words below, choose a word/adjective that describes how you make it, whether it be how it looks, sounds, tastes, or feels.

Say I can bake muffins : first I would preheat the oven, beat the butter and sugar, mix it all together, lather it into muffins cups, and so on. I would put it in the oven, and wait for it. Once I would eat it, or anything, I would say that the muffins are fresh out of the oven. They are smooth to my touch. They taste sweet in my mouth. And say I overheated this muffin to burned crisps. They would taste and feel hard.
