Read the excerpt from "the three questions" by leo tolstoy. all the answers being different, the king agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. but still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom. the hermit lived in a wood which he never quitted, and he received none but common folk. so the king put on simple clothes, and before reaching the hermit's cell dismounted from his horse, and, leaving his body-guard behind, went on alone. when the king approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. seeing the king, he greeted him and went on digging. the hermit was frail and weak, and each time he stuck his spade into the ground and turned a little earth, he breathed heavily. the king went up to him and said: "i have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: how can i learn to do the right thing at the right time? who are the people i most need, and to whom should i, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? and, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention? " the hermit listened to the king, but answered nothing. he just spat on his hand and recommenced digging. "you are tired," said the king, "let me take the spade and work awhile for you." which paragraphs from the excerpt best support the conclusion that the author’s primary purpose is to teach a lesson? select two options. “all the answers being different, the king agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. but still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.” “the hermit lived in a wood which he never quitted, and he received none but common folk. so the king put on simple clothes, and before reaching the hermit's cell dismounted from his horse, and, leaving his body-guard behind, went on alone.” “when the king approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. seeing the king, he greeted him and went on digging. the hermit was frail and weak, and each time he stuck his spade into the ground and turned a little earth, he breathed heavily.” “the king went up to him and said: ‘i have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: how can i learn to do the right thing at the right time? who are the people i most need, and to whom should i, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? and, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention? ’” “the hermit listened to the king, but answered nothing. he just spat on his hand and recommenced digging.” “’you are tired,’ said the king, ‘let me take the spade and work awhile for you.’”

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
