The harsh ethics of the lifeboat become even harsher when we
consider the reproductive differences between the rich nations
and the poor nations. The people inside the lifeboats are
doubling in numbers every 87 years; those swimming around
outside are doubling on the average, every 35 years, more than
twice as fast as the rich. And since the world's resources are
dwindling, the difference in prosperity between the rich and the
poor can only increase
As of 1973, the U. S. had a population of 210 million people, who
were increasing by 0.8 percent per year. Outside our lifeboat, let
us imagine another 210 million people (say the combined
populations of Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Morocco, Pakistan,
Thailand and the Philippines) who are increasing at a rate of 3.3
percent per year. Put differently, the doubling time for this
aggregate population is 21 years, compared to 87 years for the
U. S.
Which staternent best describes Hardin's use of deductive reasoning in this excerpt?
A. Hardin describes population growth in general terms, then explains how
that applies to the United States and poorer nations specifically.
B. Hardin intersperses information about population growth in the United
States with information about general population growth
C. Hardin describes population growth in the United States specifically, then
explains general population growth around the world.
D. Hardin talks about general population growth around the world, then
presents a counterclaim to his main argument.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
