Read the excerpt from utopia. i never saw a clearer instance of the opposite impressions that different customs make on people than i observed in the ambassadors of the anemolians, who came to amaurot when i was there. as they came to treat of affairs of great consequence, the deputies from several towns met together to wait for their coming. the ambassadors of the nations that lie near utopia, knowing their customs, and that fine clothes are in no esteem among them, that silk is despised, and gold is a badge of infamy, used to come very modestly clothed; but the anemolians, lying more remote, and having had little commerce with them, understanding that they were coarsely clothed, and all in the same manner, took it for granted that they had none of those fine things among them of which they made no use; and they, being a vainglorious rather than a wise people, resolved to set themselves out with so much pomp that they should look like gods, and strike the eyes of the poor utopians with their splendour. which is the central idea of this excerpt? the anemolians are very careful about wearing fine clothes. the anemolians do not like wearing gold and silk. the utopians are not concerned about dressing fashionably. the utopians are jealous of the anemolians’ clothing.

Lots of elementary school kids play sports after school. they play soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and even lacrosse. but i think that another great way to spend the afternoon is by playing a non-physical activity: chess. at our school we have a chess club that meets every week to play games and to learn about chess-related issues. chess is a wonderful game for many reasons. chess teaches students to be patient and not rush decisions. chess also teaches students how to strategize their future plans. and finally, chess teaches students the importance and necessity of sacrifice. chess can teach students just as much as any other sport. which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail? a) chess is not as fun as playing a sport outdoors might be. b) my father is very good at chess and plays a game with me every night. c) chess teaches students to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. d) other activities that are as fun as chess are painting, drawing, dancing, and acting.
