Answer:

C. 6,8,10

Explanation:

Pythagorean triples are sets of three sides of a triangle (leg, leg, hypotenuse) that are natural numbers, like 3, 4, and 5.

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2, so it's a triple.

6,8,10 is a triple because it can be simplified to 3,4,5 by dividing each term by 2; it's similar to the 3,4,5, so it's a triple.

The detail from the text that best conveys the message to reader that people in positions of power will naturally abuse that power is:

D. "Whatever power he has received, he has a corrupt nature that will improve it in one thing or other..."

According to Cotton, he is of the opinion that the people who get into positions of power will naturally abuse them as it is the way human nature is and cannot be changed, no matter how one tries to.

From his speech, he made the statement that man has a corrupt nature that he would always want more power.

He stated that once he has had a little taste of it, this can lead him into doing some bad things to remain in power, which leads to an abuse of such power.
