Which line of the dialogue best describes Ralph's personality? A Rule that Worked Both Ways
from Dew Drops magazine

It is a poor rule that will not work both ways. At least, so thought Mrs. Fletcher, though her son, Ralph Fletcher, did not seem to be of the same opinion until he had first tasted some of his own medicine.
"I wish you would pick up that book, Ralph. You have stepped over it twice and have still left it on the floor," Mrs. Fletcher said to her son one morning.
"I did not drop it, mother; it was Grace,"Ralph replied.
"And because you did not drop it, you think you should not pick it up?
It would be a very unhappy world, Ralph, if all worked on that principle. However, as you seem unwilling to be polite and brotherly, I must ask Grace to place the book on the table again."
A few mornings afterward, Ralph went to his mother, saying:
"Mother, dear, will you take a stitch in this ball for me?I ripped it playing with Frank Danver. Will you do it now? I'm in a hurry."
"I did not rip the ball, and so I see no reason why I should mend it," Mrs. Fletcher said. "You did the damage; you must repair it."
"Oh, mother—" Ralph began, then stopped suddenly.
"Yes. It is not quite as nice a rule for others to work by, is it, Ralph?"
"No; and it won't be nice for me after this, if I can help it," Ralph replied with a blush.

Read the excerpt from muir's essay "calypso borealis" and answer the question. [5] how long i sat beside calypso i don't know. hunger and weariness vanished, and only after the sun was low in the west i splashed on through the swamp, strong and exhilarated as if never more to feel any mortal care. at length i saw maple woods on a hill and found a log house. i was gladly received. "where ha ye come fra? the swamp, that awfu' swamp. what were ye doin' there? " etc. "mony a puir body has been lost in that muckle, cauld, dreary bog and never been found." when i told her i had entered it in search of plants and had been in it all day, she wondered how plants could draw me to these awful places, and said, "it's god's mercy ye ever got out." examine the details muir includes in this paragraph. which statement accurately explains how muir's response to nature compares to the log house owner's response? he is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful. muir cautiously admires whereas the lady shows religious dedication. the lady is more interested in the bog while muir is fascinated by plants. they both admire nature—its intense dangers and its true treasures.
