Read this excerpt from "rikki-tikki-tavi."nag coiled himself down, coil by coil, round the bulge at the bottom of the water-jar, and rikki-tikki stayed still as death. after an hour he began to move, muscle by muscle, toward the jar. nag was asleep, and rikki-tikki looked at his big back, wondering which would be the best place for a good hold. "if i don't break his back at the first jump,” said rikki, "he can still fight; and if he fights—oh, rikki! ” he looked at the thickness of the neck below the hood, but that was too much for him; and a bite near the tail would only make nag savage."it must be the head,” he said at last; 'the head above the hood; and when i am once there, i must not let go.”then he jumped. the head was lying a little clear of the water-jar, under the curve of it; and, as his teeth met, rikki braced his back against the bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head. how does the protagonist move the plot forward in this excerpt?

Plz me asap select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in the passage introduce counterarguments to the speaker’s position in favor of recycling? we only have a limited number of resources to serve humans around the globe. by recycling and reusing the resources we have, we can preserve what untouched natural resources we have while extending the life of the resources we’re currently using. admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives. some materials are not recyclable, such as certain food containers. others items are not biodegradable regardless of what we reuse them for, and that can create problems in the long run. my opponent would use these limitations of our ability to recycle to counter my points about the materials we can recycle. however, this is not an “all or nothing” scenario. we should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to buy materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled. by doing our part and encouraging others to do their part, we can increase our chances of conserving our remaining natural and manmade resources over time.
