In poor richard’s almanack by benjamin franklin, which of franklin’s aphorisms applies best to his attempts to live a moral life?

a. hunger is the best pickle.
b. if your head is wax, don’t walk in the sun.
c. genius without education is like silver in the mine.
d. a good example is the best sermon.

D. A good example is the best sermon.

This aphorism is the one that best applies to the idea of living a moral life. An aphorism is a concise, memorable expression that conveys a general truth or principle. This aphorism states that the best way to express the importance of a moral life is by being moral, and therefore, preaching it through our behaviour.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
