In the short story "Condensed Milk," by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982), the protagonist appears to have two main motivations: hunger and revenge.
The protagonist's name is never revealed. He is a prisoner at a Gulag, a Russian forced-labor camp. He is sick from exhaustion and starvation, and emotionally dulled to the lack of empathy and dignity of his condition.
When another prisoner, who is treated much better than the protagonist, offers him a chance to escape, the protagonist almost immediately realizes the whole thing is a trap. He lies to the man, tells him he agrees with escaping as long as he is brought some condensed milk to eat. At this moment, hunger seems to be the main motivation:
I fell asleep and in my ragged hungry dreams saw Shestakov's can of condensed milk, a monstrous can with sky-blue label.
When he is brought two cans, the protagonist drinks their contents to only then reveal he does not intend to participate in the plan. This where we find out about his need for revenge. He knows Shestakov is a traitor:
It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings.
NOTE: I know the question asks only for two or three sentences, but I found it important to add context to the answer. Feel free to edit and shorten it.

Read the following excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" and answer question.
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed
revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a
threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with
which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is
unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to
make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I

Explanation:
You just have to read and look through both passages and see what they both say in each.
Hope this helps :)
The authors of both passages would agree that tax increase have a direct effect on the economy. The correct answer is option b.
A passage is a section of text or speech that is written or spoken on a particular topic.
In both the passages, authors are stating that economy of a country is affected by the increase in taxes. As the taxes are increased demand for the products slows down, eventually resulting into slow economy.
Therefore, option b. tax increase have a direct effect on the economy is the correct answer.

The complete question is:
Passage 1
There is a common belief that increasing taxes will slow any economy. If money is taken out of the pockets of citizens, those citizens will have less money to spend as consumers, when consumers spend less, the decreased demand for products drives down the production of goods, and the economy slows.
Passage 2
Increasing taxes on anyone, regardless of their wealth, is always destructive to an economy. It is clear to me that the rich drive the economy: they provide jobs, invest in new technologies, and spend more dollars on consumable products. The activities of the rich increase the amount of money circulating in the system, which ultimately allows others to get more of it in their pockets. Taking an exorbitant amount of money from the wealthiest people and giving it to the government does not put money back on the streets to be used for goods, or perhaps to start one's own small business. Less money in the government treasury means more money can be used by citizens to generate even more money.
Question
The authors of both passages probably would agree that
a. certain groups of people should start paying higher taxes
b. tax increases have a direct effect on the economy
c. new technologies help only those who invent them
d.spending money does not help the economy very much

Answer:
1. The publisher is using the Scare tactic and is trying to scare the public into buying things
Example: "Did you know that if you don't use O-Mega clean then you are destroying the planet!?"
2. The publisher is also using another tactic called the bribe technique which gives people offers to buy things.
Example: “Buy one shirt and get one free”, or “be the member of the "Bumpy Toe Club" for two years and get 20% off on all services.”
3. One other famous technique used in advertising is called "Pester Power & Buzz Marketing". This technique targets children or older people and tricks them into buying it.
Example: "Do you want candy but it's too expensive or your mom won't let you? Then buy "SweetFeet" a new and cheap candy that's 25% off! Just ask your mom or dad to bring you to your nearest shop."
