A floor in Phillip’s house is rectangular and measures 12 feet (ft) by 14 feet. He wants to put a circular rug on the floor. Which is closest to the area of the largest circular rug he can use? Use 3.14 for pi. A.113 ft2
B. 154 ft2
C.452 ft2
D.615 ft2

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
