Answer:

the 2nd one is true

Explanation:

Is this pathos or ethos?

It was Jilly's last day in the green house. Summer was coming to an end and so was the growing season. School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over.

Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to.

The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100 degree temperatures.

Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things.

"We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside."

It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly.

"Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T.

"I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing.

"Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it.

"That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget."

"Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered.

"Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said.

Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer-her need to be around growing things was huge.

"I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking."

"You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you."

"And I will miss you," Jilly replied. "Thank you for the opportunity and the job." Jilly watched Mrs. T. put the tray of mums down on the center row of tables. Wearing her familiar brown apron, Mrs. T. looked just as she had on Jilly's first day.

"My pleasure, of course, dear," Mrs. T. replied. "My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants."

Recalling her thoughts all morning, about what she enjoyed about her summer job, Jilly realized she knew much more than just how to not drown the mint.

Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand.

Which sentence in the excerpt presents a counterargument?

adapted excerpt from On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

by Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau wrote this influential essay in 1849 because he was disgusted with the US government’s refusal to end slavery and with its participation in the Mexican-American War.
The practical reason why a majority are permitted to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, but because they are physically the strongest. Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not decide right and wrong, but conscience?— in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable1? Why has every man a conscience, then? It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation I have is to do at any time what I think right.
How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also.
All men recognize the right to resist the government when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of 1775. If one were to tell me that this was a bad government because it taxed certain foreign commodities brought to its ports2, it is most probable that I should not make an ado about it, for I can do without them. But when a sixth of the population of a nation are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army3, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to revolutionize. What makes this duty the more urgent is that fact, that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army.
It is not a man’s duty to devote himself to the eradication of any wrong; he may still properly have other concerns to engage him. But it is his duty, at least, to wash his hands of it, and not to give it practically his support. I have heard some of my townsmen say, “I should like to have them order me out to help put down an insurrection of the slaves, or to march to Mexico,—see if I would go.” And yet these very men have each, directly by their allegiance, and indirectly, by their money, furnished a substitute. Thus, under the name of Order and Civil Government, we are all made to pay support our own meanness. After the first blush of sin, comes its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to that life which we have made.
________________________________________
1. that is, only those issues that don’t have moral implications
2. Heavy taxation of imported goods was one reason for the Revolutionary War.
3. Thoreau’s description of a country conquered by a foreign army is a reference to the US invasion of Mexico in what we now call the Mexican-American War.

A. Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not decide right and wrong, but conscience?— in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable1?
B. How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it
