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.

Rewrite the following paragraph, changing the passive voice to the active voice throughout each one.
solmaris [256]

Dr. Wheeler entered the room and spoke words of advice regarding active verbs. The rebellious class decided that the final paper of the semester would be written entirely in passive voice. The distraught Wheeler made remarks; the students made protests. One student got out of his seat. He stood upon his desk and made a vow that he would never write another active sentence. Wheeler challenged him to a duel. He shed blood. He kicked butts. The students lost lives. People heard the student's shrieks. Concerned people ran down the halls of Henderson. They entered the room and saw carnage. They found Mr. Wheeler standing over the bodies and he spoke the words: "They made mistakes."

Active voice is when the subject of the sentence is doing the verb. Passive voice is when the action verb is done to something, but the subject is not actually capable of doing the action.

Discuss how commas affect reading fluency.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

It plays a major role because it's easier to read by separating phrases.

Explanation:

For example, if you invited your grandma to eat dinner, you could say "Let's eat Grandma" but that sounds wrong. You're addressing your grandma, not eating her. So you would say "Let's eat, Grandma." with a comma to show separation. Also, commas are used like I just used it, after a transition word. And if there is more than two things that you are referring to, you use commas. For example, "pickles, cats, and dogs."
