The response approach it uses is (A) Defend.

Explanation:

The approach is more about the daily challenges that the people face while working hard towards their goal and keeping oneself motivated. They always stay focused and curious to perform better and devote their lives in finding new solutions.

On the contrary it is very important to keep the mind in peace while looking for the solutions. This will only target their thoughts and work towards a better solution every time. By doing this, we don't shirk our responsibilities rather rejuvenate ourselves with the stamina to perform at our best by restoring our own physical and mental ability leading to sharper thinking and increased creativity. This essay is clearly defending the views of Stevenson.

The approach that this essay:

According to Stevenson, people who focus on their work too much have no "curiosity" for life. While this is an important observation, the reality is a little more complex than he allows. Regular leisure time is absolutely essential for a healthy balance in life, but there is nothing to say that people who devote their lives to work are not doing so because they love their jobs and have strong curiosity for that.

Takes is:

a) Defend

Explanation:

To understand the answer we need to analyze it. First of all, we need to understand that the defense of an idea requires proof to sustain it. Therefore, in our case, we can match it with our example. We see that our author talks about a phenomenon in people and provides a negative aspect of it. Nevertheless, it doesn't leave the topic there. It also provides evidence that it is not only a negative act "defending" the positive aspects of the phenomenon.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.

i'm on the same lesson : / i really don't want to do it..
