In the section "wearing the mask," what is the pitcher's

point of view toward the batter?

the pitcher thinks that he has a good

chance to get the batter out.

the pitcher believes a confident glare

will intimidate the batter.

the pitcher believes that the batter

must be really nervous.

the pitcher thinks that the batter is

much better than he is.

The pitcher is kind of anxious and with a lot of anticipation about winning, he's not so sure about throwing the right pitch, he wants to win but deeply somehow he feels the batter is better than him.

Therefore the best answer is the last one:

"The pitcher thinks that the batter is much better than he is."

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
