Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's Freakonomics.
There is a tale, "The Ring of Gyges," that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Plato's
Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates-who, like Adam Smith,
argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman's economist friends, disagreed.
He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When
Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to
do woeful things-seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon's story posed a moral question: could any
man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was
no.
The excerpt serves as which of the following in relation to the authors' ar
a claim that most people are moral
an example of morality in the workplace
a conclusion about morality in the workplace
a counterclaim to the idea that most people are moral

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
