Read this passage from Walden by Henry David Thoreau. What is Thoreau comparing in this passage?
It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten
track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to
the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I
fear that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open. The surface of the earth
is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How
worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and
conformity!

A. Worn paths are compared to conformity

B. A path is compared to the feet

C. Ideas are compared to feet

D. The mind is compared to traveling

Lots of elementary school kids play sports after school. they play soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and even lacrosse. but i think that another great way to spend the afternoon is by playing a non-physical activity: chess. at our school we have a chess club that meets every week to play games and to learn about chess-related issues. chess is a wonderful game for many reasons. chess teaches students to be patient and not rush decisions. chess also teaches students how to strategize their future plans. and finally, chess teaches students the importance and necessity of sacrifice. chess can teach students just as much as any other sport. which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail? a) chess is not as fun as playing a sport outdoors might be. b) my father is very good at chess and plays a game with me every night. c) chess teaches students to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. d) other activities that are as fun as chess are painting, drawing, dancing, and acting.
