Answer:
Notice he doesn’t say “great minds”, or “geniuses” or “intelligent people”. He’s not talking about IQ or processing power. He’s not saying that smart scientists or philosophers like himself are always attacked by the unintelligent. He says “great spirits”, and a man of that caliber usually chooses his words quite carefully. He’s talking about spirit.
Spirit is not of this world. It is not concerned with the same functions or subjects as the mind. I would say it is rooted/connected to something much deeper, within.
Mind is often opposed to Spirit, because mind seeks to control. Spirit is something different, it can relate to a certain quality of intelligence perhaps, but I’d put it more on the levels of energy, courage, truth and justice. Spirit knows, it can operate with the mind’s help, but it doesn’t even have to ask questions or perform any experiments in our physical space to know certain truths.
When the rare man comes along who embodies those virtues and who acts from Spirit, society - even some of the “great minds” of the time - tend to beat him down, and often kill him. Look at MLK, Gandhi, John Lennon, JFK, the American founding fathers (who had to go to war for their ideas & beliefs, and many of whom were killed), Copernicus, Jesus, Socrates, there are many examples. The physical world is a place of logic and self-preservation, which are often at odds with truth and justice, sadly.

Answer:
The bridge of the paragraph is the transition between the previous and the next paragraph.
Explanation:
When you're writing a text, it's important for its pieces to be connected to each other well. That's how the text flows smoothly and doesn't feel like its pieces were simply glued together. That's the purpose of bridges. A bridge sentence is a sentence at the end of the paragraph that summarizes what has already been said in it and signals what the following paragraph will be about.
I believe it's the first one, "Make an effort to properly dispose of plastic trash and recyclables." This is because the second and third one aren't a call to action because they're stating facts instead of telling you to do things to help the cause. Also, just by studying the ocean and learning about the needs of endangered wildlife, you're not actually helping anything. While you will know more about the cause, you aren't doing anything to help it. Hope this helps!
