Mrs. jackson is filling planter boxes with soil. she has soil that is 27% sand and she buys 8 pounds of a commercial potting soil that is 16% sand. she mixes some of her soil with the 8 pounds of commercial potting soil. the resulting soil mixture is 19% sand. how many pounds of her soil did she use?

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
