Consider the two grading schemes above, with a homework average of 81 a class participation average of 57 a test average of 93 and a final exam grade of 87. If you calculate your grade with both teachers, what would the higher of the two grades be?

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 !
