are Qi 97 minutes and Q; = 119 minutes.
a) Write a sentence or two describing the spread in
running times based on
i) the quartiles.

b) Do you have any concerns about using either of these
descriptions of spread? Explain.

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 !
