The correct answer here would be Beware the pursuit of luxury as it will surely barricade the path that leads to self-awareness.

The author clearly states his claim in the beginning of this excerpt:"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."

What he means by this is that we do not need as much we think we do and, in order to make progress as mankind, we should care less about luxury and rely more on reason and judgment.

Describe your classroom using a minimum of 10 prepositions??

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

In our classroom, there are 50 desks. It has paint, white like snow painted along the edges of the walls. Underneath the chairs, you can see the wooden floor. If you walk across the floor all the way until the back of the class and look up, you will find a bunch of boxes on top of the cabinets. Make sure to turn the lights off when you leave so that the janitor doesn't scold you.
