explain the following: i am the wisest man alive, for i know one thing and that is that know and know nothing. (plato)
Answer:
Explanation:
This quote means that the person who knows what the limits of their knowledge are is actually a very smart person. They know how little they know about the world, how much more there is beyond their imagination, and that they are not the smartest person there is. Therefore, they will be very conscious and careful with their conclusions and decisions – they will know they can’t offer the complete answer to anything and that there might be someone who might offer more information than them.
Knowing the limits of ourselves is a very important thing to realize, especially in order not to be narcissistic and to jump to the wrong conclusions, resulting in various prejudices and misinformation.

From On Being a Cripple / Nancy Mairs
First, the matter of semantics. I am a cripple. I choose this word to name me. I choose this word to name me. I choose from among several possibilities, the most common of which are "handicapped" and "disabled." I made the choice a number of years ago, without thinking, unaware of my motives for doing so. Even now, I’m not sure what those motives are, but I recognize that they are complex and not entirely flattering. People- crippled or not- wince at the word "cripple," as they do not "handicapped" or "disabled." Perhaps I want them to wince. I want them to see me as a tough customer, one to whom the fates/gods/viruses have not been kind, but who can face the brutal truth of her existence squarely. As a cripple, I swagger.
Answer:
From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs
The claim is "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.
Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.
Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.

-ex-girlfriend, but
-but, he
-run, into
Answer:

Which of the following is NOT an option that Elie and his family could have taken in order to seek freedom?
Listened to the warnings of his father's Hungarian Police friend.
Listened to the warnings of their maid.
Listened to the warnings of Moishe Berkowitz.
Listened to the warnings of Moishe the Beadle.
Answer:
Listened to the warnings of his father's Hungarian Police friend.
Explanation:
Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts his suffering days of the Holocaust when he, along with other Jews were persecuted and discriminated against by the Germans under Hitler. The memoir became one of the most sought after book that contains a first-person narrative of the most horrendous genocide in the history of the world.
In the memoir, Elie recalls Moishe, the Beadle fervently warning people to listen to him about what he saw what had happened to the deported Jews in Poland. Moreover, Elie also mentioned how his friend Moishe Chaim Berkowits had told them about "Anti-Semitic acts take place every day, in the streets, on the trains. The Fascists attack Jewish stores, synagogues. The situation is becoming very serious." Even their former maid Martha had offered to take them to her village for safety. All these are options that Elie and his family can take to be safe/ seek freedom.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option, i.e, to listen to their Hungarian Police friend. For it was the Hungarian police that came to 'arrest' the Jews.
