Answer:

Given the comparison made by Thoreau, we can say his opinion is the following:

D)  Thoreau believes that most men live earthly, purely physical lives without  time for higher, spiritual thoughts.

Explanation:

"It appeared to me that for a like reason men remain in their present low and primitive  condition; but if they should feel the influence of the spring of springs arousing them, they would of necessity rise to a higher  and more ethereal life."

<u>Thoreau uses the numbness of the snake as a metaphor for the figurative numbness of men. The primitive state that he mentions above is a low state of consciousness, solely focused on material possessions and earthly pursuits that, to his mind, have no real purpose. Thoreau believes it is possible for men to reach higher intellectual and spiritual grounds. However, most of them seem to prefer the numbness.</u>

Which excerpt from the text best shows that the passage uses a cause and effect pattern
TEA [102]

D. Several factors led to the beginning of World War I.

The topic sentence from the passage shows us that it follows a cause and effect pattern. It sets the reader up to understand that the rest of the passage will be about several factors that caused World War I. The rest of the options are the different factors that led to World War I. They do not use key words that would indicate a cause and effect patterns like the words "Several" and "led" do in the first sentence.

Is this paragraph summarizing or analyzing. and Why?
kogti [31]
It's analyzing, because it's referencing several different sources showing that Bob Dylan was a peace maker, and how his influence in the story can have a different affect on many people, despite the fact he was a peace keeper. From what this says, even though he was good, he influenced teens like Connie to do some negative things. This is a speculation and an counter claim to those articles that list him as "The King" and a "Peace Keeper".
