Garrett Hardin, "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor"

Answer:

The correct answer is misguided.

Explanation:

Garret Hardin was an American ecologist who worked on the effects of overpopulation; Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor is related to this topic.

Misguided and confused can be used as synonyms. This way, the author shows that the metaphor is dangerous when used by <em>confused</em> idealists. So, the idea is misguided, it is also incorrect because it does not go in the proper direction.

How does the writer best develop the idea Ashridge would benefit from renovations
mafiozo [28]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If Ashridge would benefit from the renovations, the author should develop this idea by showing how that benefit would happen, that is, the author should show what the renovations would do to Ashridge and how it would be good for her, in some way. You will only be able to identify these benefits from reading the text, but it is likely that the author makes it very clear what positive results the renovations will bring to Ashridge.
