Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

A. Simile

Finally, explain which side you agree with and why.

here is the transcript
"There's n othing smart about personalized intimate technology. It simply confirms our misplac ed ideal that the world revolv es around us.

Smart technology has made us smart in some unexpected ways. It's made us more responsive. It's made us more engaged.

What we've created, in other words, is an environment that is constantly frustrating our mind's ability to create deep knowledge into think deeply.

This is the greatest time in human history to be wanting to know. There is no better time. The access to information has never been this free.

We're losing that contemplative deep focused attentive state of mind that is crucial to the creation of knowledge, the creation of intelligence, and deep thinking in general.

In this age of constant distraction-- we can't focus-- we're watching seven years of Game of Th rones, the most complex narrative that we've ever seen in our world. Our universities are turning out experts and scholars who are deep into their topics-- deeper than ever, because they can go that deep because of the internet. We are knowing more and better than ever.

What we're losing is the sub tlety, the depth, the sophistication of thought. In an odd way, perhaps we're becoming like machi nes. But that, in an odd way, as well makes us du mber than we once were.

There are lots of things that people do with technology in this current moment that may not rise to the bar of tenured faculty and book writers. That doesn't necessarily mean it's dum b. What is d umb, and what is lying underneath that judgment? Buried in that is notions about what is appropriate disco urse, what is sufficiently merit-worthy.

We're not all broadcasting these deep thoughts. Were sending out links to sill y videos. We're going-- spending huge amounts of time on Fac ebook. We're spending lots of time on T witter, sending Snapc hats.

We've never had an opportunity like this, the ability to participate in the creation of knowledge. This is the smartest age we've ever had."

Although some of these bikes might seem odd to you, or even impractical, they do have some valid and important purposes. For starters, investigations into human-generated kinetic energy might contribute to real solutions to the creeping energy crisis by providing a clean and renewable source of energy. Such solutions will have the added bonus of making users more fit, something flipping your light switch or unplugging your toaster can?t do. Secondly, machines like this have the potential to do a lot of good in developing countries that don?t always have easy access to appliances, affordable machinery, or cheap electricity. In fact, several organizations exist to help get bike-based technology into the hands of communities working to become financially stronger.
a.
How could these bikes contribute to energy use?
c.
both of these
b.
Why do people ride bikes to work in big cities?
d.
neither of these

Which line in this excerpt from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice illustrates Miss Bingley's growing dislike for Elizabeth Bennet? "Your picture may be very exact, Louisa," said Bingley; "but this was all lost upon me. I thought Miss Elizabeth Bennet looked remarkably well when she came into the room this morning. Her dirty petticoat quite escaped my notice." "You observed it, Mr. Darcy, I am sure," said Miss Bingley;"and I am inclined to think that you would not wish to see your sister make such an exhibition." "Certainly not." "To walk three miles, or four miles, or five miles, or whatever it is, above her ankles in dirt, and alone, quite alone! What could she mean by it? It seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence, a most country-town indifference to decorum." "It shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing," said Bingley. "I am afraid, Mr. Darcy," observed Miss Bingley in a half whisper, "that this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes. "

My father was crying. It was the first time I saw him cry. I had never thought it possible. As for my mother, she was walking, her face a mask, without a word, deep in thought. I looked at my little sister, Tzipora, her blond hair neatly combed, her red coat over her arm: a little girl of seven. On her back a bag too heavy for her. She was clenching her teeth; she already knew it was useless to complain. Here and there, the police were lashing out with their clubs: "Faster!" I had no strength left. The journey had just begun and I already felt so weak…
"Faster! Faster! Move, you lazy good-for-nothings!" the Hungarian police were screaming.
That was when I began to hate them, and my hatred remains our only link today. They were our first oppressors. They were the first faces of hell and death.
They ordered us to run. We began to run. Who would have thought that we were so strong? From behind their windows, from behind their shutters, our fellow citizens watched as we passed.
