<span>Abandoned as a word has a much more purposeful connotation than 'left behind' or 'moved on without'. Abandoned means that the people who were doing the leaving did it on purpose. It means that those who moved on were actively trying to leave them, not just forgetting or making a mistake, which 'left behind' feels like. 

This ties into his central idea because he is saying that by not doing anything, humanity is acting as terribly as the oppressors because they aren't actively standing up for what's right. </span><span />

<span>C. Rand doesn't want to climb the rock wall because he is afraid.

I agree with C being the correct answer. Throughout the passage, he describes the sweat pouring off Rand and repeatedly talks to himself about how they won't let him fall. We don't know from the passage if Tad is in charge of his safety rope so D is out. A and B are both incorrect - he doesn't mention looking silly and his sweaty hands are just a piece of the passage.

Why has illegal downloading become a controversial issue in recent years
Mandarinka [93]
Illegal downloading has become such a major issue in recent years because it's becoming easier and easier for people to do it. This causes stress on recording companies and producers and in turn, the artists creating the music. Similarly with tv shows and movies, illegal downloads make it harder for the creative team to make their money back from what they spent creating it.
