These are pretty hard, at least to me. Please help me check my answers.
1. Most luxuries, and the so-called comforts of life, are not only indispensable, but positive hinderances to the elevation of mankind. With respects to luxuries and comforts, the wisest have ever lived a more simple and meager life than the poor. The ancient philosophers, Chinese, Hindu, Persian, and Greek, were a class than which none had been poorer in outward riches, none so rich inward. We know not much about them. It is remarkable that we know so much of them as we do. The same is true of the modern reformers and benefactors of their race. None can be an impartial or wise observer of human life but from the vantage ground of what we should call voluntary povery.

Hi is still correct as of dec 10, 2021
1. The correct answer is b) deductive.
2. The correct answer is a) inductive thinking.
3. The correct answer is a) sound.
4. The correct answer is a) sound.
1. The passage provided does not explicitly state whether Henry David Thoreau's thinking is inductive or deductive. To determine the correct answer, we would need more information or context about Thoreau's reasoning process.
2. The passage suggests that Karl Marx's Communist Party Manifesto outlines a continuous struggle between different social classes, which leads to revolutionary changes in society. This aligns with deductive thinking, as Marx presents a general theory based on particular observations and historical analysis. Therefore, the correct answer is b) deductive thinking.
3. In this statement, the argument for everyone traveling to Europe is based solely on subjective opinion and the example of Thomas Jefferson's travels. There is no logical reasoning or evidence provided to support the claim. Therefore, the correct answer is b) unsound reasoning.
4. The statement suggests a likelihood or probability that repeat offenders will commit another crime if not imprisoned. It does not provide any evidence or logical errors that would invalidate the claim. Therefore, the correct answer is a) sound reasoning.
