Answer:

Pahom's ambition for land led to his death, but the only land he needed was the one he was buried in. This can be used to infer the claim that ambition leads to ruin.

Explanation:

"How Much Land Does A Man Need" was written by Leo Tolstoy and tells the story of Pahom, a peasant who had little land and many debts to pay, as well as having little money. He would very much like to own more land and one day he said "if I had plenty of land, I should not fear the Devil himself!"

The devil heard this and accepted the challenge, allowing Pahom to have access to unimaginable amounts of land. This allowed him to work hard and have enough money for everything, including buying more land. However, Pahom became a greedy and aggressive man who only cared about getting more wealth. One day, he walked many kilometers in the sun to be able to buy more land. However, prolonged exposure to the sun caused him to die. After he died, all Pahom's wealth became obsolete and the only land he needed was the one in which he was buried.

When an inspection is conducted in your workplace, you have certain rights. What are these rights?
Katena32 [7]
Your rights are to remain silent if anything they find rises question to them and they do question you , and you can also not comply to a search but that would make you look suspicious so if you don't have anything to hide don't be making it hard on everyone for no reason but if you do you reserve the right to say no. The only time you don't have a say in it is like if there was a crime and it happened in the work place since it is not owned by you you just work there if whomever owns it says they can search anything thing then you have no say because it is not your property i hoped this helped :)
