Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

The king finally found the hermit, who, despite being frail and weak, was kneeling on the ground, digging in front of his hut. How does this sentence impact the plot?

This sentence affects the plot because it creates a hope that the king will find answers to his questions.

Explanation:

That question is Leo Tolstoy's "Three Question".

The hermit represents a wise man, who has an admirable intelligence. When the king meets the hermit, he seems weak, but his wisdom is not associated with physical strength, which makes this encounter so important for the plot, because it creates the hope that the king will find the answer to the questions he has and that will be wise and satisfying answers.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
