Which summary of Edward Sanford Martin's essay, “The Tyranny of
Things" is most accurate?
Select one:

A. People do not have an innate ability to know what is best for them; therefore,
they must follow the examples of animals.
B. Men "just go ahead as long as the materials last" until they are "hopelessly
bound" and realize that "it is the things that own him."
C. The tyranny of things comes about because human beings live beyond their
means to acquire bigger and better things and then are shackled by debt.
D. Nature gives animals an unfair advantage because animals have instincts that
tell them how much to build, while humans never know how much is enough.
