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


The author clearly states his claim in the beginning of this excerpt:"<em>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</em>."

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.

mina [271]

Answer:

The correct answers are answers C, D and E.

Explanation:

Simple sentences contain only one subject and one predicate. On the other hand, compound sentences contain more than one subject and more than one predicate. In other words, compound sentences are formed by two or more simple sentences.

If you can separate the sentence in two (or more) and both parts still make sense, and each one has a subject and a predicate, then we're saying this original sentence is a compound sentence.

In sentence C we have two subjects: Informational messages and sensitive messages. Each one has his predicate.

In sentence D we have two subjects: Good writers and bad writes. Each one has his predicate.

In sentence E we have two subjects: Pie charts and bar charts. Each one has his predicate.
