Help please Read the following passages:
Passage A
"It's hard to be satisfied with your life when you're poor. All the advice you get for saving money only makes you more stressed and
unhappy. People tell you never to pay for a bank account, but free banking doesn't come cheap. You can't get free checking without a
minimum balance. You can't get a no-fee student savings account when you can't afford tuition. They tell you that buying in bulk is
cheaper in the long run, but bigger sizes cost more right now. A lower price per each doesn't matter if you don't have enough cash in your
wallet for the economy size. And when it comes to necessities like toilet paper and diapers, you can't wait for them to go on sale, either."
Passage B
"In news that will probably surprise no one, it turns out that money actually does buy happiness. Put more precisely, people with more
income are more satisfied with their lives. This is according to a survey of people who play the lottery in Sweden. Scientists first located
people who had different levels of success in the lottery. Then they asked the players to rate how satisfied they were with their lives. The
survey found that lottery winners are happier with their lives than non-winners. Further, people who won large sums reported higher life
satisfaction than people who won small amounts."
What is a common theme of both of these readings?
O Money contributes to life satisfaction and ease of living.
O People cannot be happy unless they have a lot of money.
O Poor people should play the lottery.
O There are many ways to save money and become happier.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
