Read the excerpt from levitt and dubner’s freakonomics.

there is a tale, “the ring of gyges,” that feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. it comes from plato’s republic. a student named glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by socrates—who, like adam smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. glaucon, like feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. he told of a shepherd named gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. when gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. with no one able to monitor his behavior, gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. but paul feldman sides with socrates and adam smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes.

the example in the excerpt the authors arrive at which of the following conclusions?
the majority of people are corrupt.
the majority of people are honest.
glaucon and paul feldman were wrong.
socrates and adam smith were wrong.

The majority of people are honest.

Explanation:

The concluding part of this excerpt states a simple question and then provides two answers. Glaucon seemed to think that no man will resist the temptation of evil if he knows no one is seeing him. Paul Feldman knows that 87% of the time people will resist temptation of evil in such a case, so he sides with Socrates and Adam Smith. Since the authors tell that Paul Feldman knows almost the exact answer while Glaucon just seemed to think otherwise, so the author arrives at this conclusion that "the majority of the people are honest"

Both Glaucon and Paul Feldman  cannot be wrong at the same time because they have opposite answers/opnion from each other.

Socrates and Adam Smith were NOT wrong, as Paul Feldman knows the answer and sides with them. This shows that Socrates and Adam Smith are right.

B is the answer

Explanation:

sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on" is the sentence that best articulates this. then he gives the examples.   mark me brainliest

the answer is a.

explanation:

the clause "looking toward the south" modifies "a funnel cloud." it's not really the cloud that's "looking," but grammatically, that clause is modifying the cloud.
