Read the excerpt from Kant’s “What is Enlightenment?” and answer the question. Thus it is very difficult for the individual to work himself out of the nonage which has become almost second nature to him. He has even grown to like it, and is at first really incapable of using his own understanding because he has never been permitted to try it. Dogmas and formulas, these mechanical tools designed for reasonable use--or rather abuse--of his natural gifts, are the fetters of an everlasting nonage. The man who casts them off would make an uncertain leap over the narrowest ditch, because he is not used to such free movement. That is why there are only a few men who walk firmly, and who have emerged from nonage by cultivating their own minds.

In the passage, Kant introduces one of his primary metaphors for the importance of enlightenment. Which of the following quotes that appear later in the essay, complete this metaphor?

1 “At last free thought acts even on the fundamentals of government and the state finds it agreeable to treat man, who is now more than a machine, in accord with his dignity."
2 “There will always be a few independent thinkers, even among the self-appointed guardians of the multitude.”
3 “But should a society of ministers, say a Church Council, . . . have the right to commit itself by oath to a certain unalterable doctrine, in order to secure perpetual guardianship over all its members and through them over the people?”
4 “By "public use of one's reason" I mean that use which a man, as scholar, makes of it before the reading public”

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.

so he was on top of a building and superman came through got him and put him down safely.

the answer is b: overstatement.   overstatement is a literary technique used by writers to put emphasis on   a certain point, by describing or explaining something in a way that makes it seem more important or more serious than it really is. "crumbling", "for generations", "millions would flock", "profits woul soar" "the best principal ever" are some examples from the excerpt.

it doesn't say which statement, so there is no way we can you.
