Read the passage from "Allegory of the Cave." Socrates: And now, let me show in a figure how far our
nature is enlightened or unenlightened: - Behold! human
beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth
open towards the light and reaching all along the den;
here they have been from their childhood, and have their
legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and
can only see before them, being prevented by the chains
from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a
fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the
prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you
look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which
marionette players have in front of them, over which they
show the puppets.
What is the purpose of describing human beings as
living in an underground den?
O to show that many people live their lives in terrible
physical conditions
to use imagery to suggest that people are trapped by
their perceptions and prevented from understanding
reality
O to show that people depend on others like the players
to describe reality
to use imagery to show that people must change their
governments to escape their misunderstanding of
reality
Ok

(9) because they learned from their mistakes, that encouraged them to continue to work hard and succeed at inventing one of todays most convenient inventions, the airplane. (10) another reason to take risks is that you can form relationships. (11) a good example of this is the play, “novio boy” by gary soto. (12) rudy, the main character, asks patricia, his crush, to go on a date with him. (13) he took a risk because she is older than him, and rudy wasn’t sure of what she would say. (14) fortunately, patricia agreed to go out with him. (15) therefore, taking risks can be positive and you form relationships. (16) in conclusion, you never know what you are capable of until you take a risk. (17) there could be many motives that could make you want to take a risk. (18) the result could turn out to be either good or bad. (19) despite the consequences, you never know what you could achieve before you take the risk. the word "before" does not appropriately connect the two clauses in sentence 19. which word should replace "before"? unless although since after
