A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing
an essay, or painting a picture or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so
leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind courteous, restrained and magnanimous.
In Mao’s view the revolutionary instincts of the peasantry derive from their poverty. Hence it is
the poorest peasants, those with the least to lose, who are naturally the most revolutionary.
In these stirring passages, Mao puts forth a view of revolution quite different from that of Marx
and Lenin; whereas for Marx the urban proletariat served as the revolutionary vanguard and for
Lenin the Communist Party fulfilled that purpose, Mao is here assigning the role of revolutionary
vanguard to the poor peasants who, as he described them “are not afraid of losing anything.”
Although Mao’s Marxian celebration of class struggle put him at odds with a Confucian
preference for social harmony, he nevertheless shared with Mencius a stress on the peasantry as
the decisive political force – and a belief that peasant poverty was the root cause of revolution
(the modern Chinese term for which, geming, carries the meaning of “to change the mandate”).

It is the controlling idea that dominates the entire narrative and combines the various elements of the text in one single thread and makes it a coherent whole.
The Patriot Act was primarily created with the motive of preventing terrorism which was a serious concern for the government and thus, it was enforced without any delay to ensure the safety of the citizens by enabling the FBI and NSA to gather significant information that would assist in preventing potential acts. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

The dictionary is a useful tool here to trace word origins. Under the definitions should be a section that talks about the etymology of the word. This traces the word back through time (starting with the most recent and working back in time).
