This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

. . . since they have no use for money among themselves, but keep it as a provision against events which seldom happen, and between which there are generally long intervening intervals, they value it no farther than it deserves—that is, in proportion to its use. So that it is plain they must prefer iron either to gold or silver, for men can no more live without iron than without fire or water; but Nature has marked out no use for the other metals so essential as not easily to be dispensed with. –Utopia, Thomas More

The Utopians value money less than other, more useful things.

"they have no use for money among themselves"

"they value it no farther than it deserves—that is, in proportion to its use"

"they must prefer iron either to gold or silver, for men can no more live without iron than without fire or water"

The detail that best provides an example to illustrate the central idea is:

"they must prefer iron either to gold or silver, for men can no more live without iron than without fire or water"

Explanation:

All options are directly related to the central idea that Utopians value money less than other, more useful things. However, we are looking for a detail to illustrate the idea, that is, to give an example that will help readers understand or visualize it. In that case, the last option is the best one: "they must prefer iron either to gold or silver, for men can no more live without iron than without fire or water." From this detail, we can understand what type of thing is more valuable to Utopians than money. Something as useful as iron is certainly seen as more precious. The author even compares it to water and fire, two things we are completely dependent on to survive.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
