Answer:

E. reinforce the author’s overarching claim about ordinary people’s capacity for success

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. A base metal is a metal of little monetary value, as opposed to a precious metal like gold. In stating that “from apparently the basest metals we have the finest toned bells,” the author asserts that a material that is considered worthless can nevertheless become the medium for the beautiful sound of a high-quality bell. He notes that people who are not valued by society (“simple manhood,” “dregs of society”) can similarly achieve great things sometimes. He then observes that steel objects and rusty razors can actually improve in quality after being left “neglected and forgotten” in the dirt, reflecting that the most marginalized and maligned of people (“the lowly and despised”) can similarly become agents of “improvement and progress” for the world. The comparison between metals and people thus reinforces the author’s thesis that people who do not seem to possess great talent or many advantages can still achieve extraordinary things (“excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters”).

Let’s deconstruct an example from the great Winston Churchill. All the power words are underlined:

We have before us an<u> ordeal</u> of the most <u>grievous</u> kind. We have before us many, many long months of <u>struggle</u> and of <u>suffering</u>. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage <u>war</u>, by sea, land and air, with all our <u>might</u> and with all the<u> strength </u>that God can give us; to wage<u> war against </u>a monstrous tyranny, never <u>surpassed</u> in the dark, lamentable catalogue of<u> human crime</u>. That is our <u>policy</u>. You ask, what is our<u> aim?</u> I can answer in one word: It is <u>victory, </u>victory at all costs, victory in spite of all<u> terror, victory</u>, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no <u>survival. </u>
