Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

There is a tale, “The Ring of Gyges,” that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Plato’s Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes.

Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by
A)making a claim about his individual experiences and looking for evidence.
B)making a broad generalization about morality and looking for evidence.
C)studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization.
D)studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.

It can be inferred that Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by: "studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization." (Option D)

When conclusions are reached by the examination of facts from  one or more texts and the arrival of deductions from the same, an inference has been made.

In the above text, the writer studies various sources and then draws a conclusion having examined those sources. Hence, the correct answer is D.

Can someone please mark my short weather description?


The sun was just rising; its feeble light trickled through the window, fractured into myriad rainbows by the intricate whorls and fingers of ice on the frosty pane. Slowly, as if languishing every moment, gentle sunlight basked the land in a golden hue. Peace, bliss and affection oozed out of it - an overwhelming feeling of acceptance. A pool of crimson and gold spilled across the horizon, hurling shafts of glorious light on the grateful crowds below. It was stunning.

Artist-like trickery showed off a serene sky: cobalt blue depths, cerulean outlines to the few white clouds, a sapphire halo around the sun. Beneath, a watcher might rest their eyes and see the sea, stretched out in lazy ripples, in a reflection of an idyllic day.

I stood up, gazing over a glowing land as rich and red as the morning light that now illuminated it fully.

Hello, please answer those questions, please.

30 points!!!! Feedback on my essay conclusion on To Kill a Mockingbird

While To Kill A Mockingbird addresses many hard-to-face topics, Jem and Scout’s loss of innocence as they mature and learn about society is the main point developed in the story. The novel focuses on Scout’s perspective and realizations about everything that occurs, such as being exposed to the black community at Calpurnia’s church, trying to understand Mr. Raymond’s reasoning for the way he lives, and coming to terms with the normalcy of the outcome of Tom Robinson’s trial. Jem and Scout’s loss of innocence throughout the novel helps add to the gravity of their maturing and fully understanding of the society of the world they live in.
