The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The man that speaks those words is Sir Thomas More. Those words appear in <em>"A Man for All Seasons."</em>

English writer Robert Bolt wrote the play "A Man for All Seasons" in 1954. It first appeared as a version to the radio, and later for television. The play debuted in the Globe Theater in London, in 1960. It is based on the life of Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) an English philosopher and humanist of the Renaissance that opposed to the theology of Martin Luther and Reformation. He was sentenced to death after he rejected to take the Supremacy Oath required to swear allegiance to the Church of England.

Relatively few complications from the use of acupuncture have been reported to the FDA in light of the millions of people treate
rosijanka [135]

Answer: D) Most of the adverse effects of acupuncture that have been reported do not derive from the procedure itself, but from proper application.

Explanation:

The main idea of the paragraph is that the problem with acupuncture is not acupuncture or the procedure itself, but the inadequate way this is used by practitioners: "<em>Still, complications have resulted from inadequate sterilization of needles</em> and from improper delivery of treatments." The message of the text is that <em>the adverse effects and the problems created by the use of acupuncture</em> are related to "<em>inadequate sterilization and improper delivery of treatments." </em>
