Select the correct text in the passage. A writer is using the following text to write an essay about greed:
adapted excerpt from To Be Famous We Must Be Ambitious
by Rosetta Dunigan
Ambition is an excessive quality and, as such, Is apt to lead us to the most extraordinary results. If our ambition leads us to excel or seek to
excel in that which is good, the currents we follow will be of great good. But if our ambition is stimulated by pride, envy, or vanity, we will
confine our support principally to the counter currents of life. In this way, we will leave behind us misery and destruction.
The happiness promised by ambition dissolves in sorrow just as we are about to grasp it. It makes the same mistake concerning wealth. She
begins by accumulating power as a means of happiness, but she finishes by continuing to accumulate it as an end.
Which sentence in the writer's essay should the writer revise to include an in-text citation?
Greed is one of the most important issues in our society, and it has been for many decades. Unfortunately, there are many people who
prioritize money over other, more important things, such as their relationships or values. The happiness promised by wealth often dissolves in
sorrow just as we are about to grasp it. Those who believe money will make their lives better often eventually realize that the opposite is true.
