lol im doing this right now
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the lines from the poem and the options provided.
The lines from the poem "a contribution to statistics" state:
"glad to lend a hand
if it doesn't take too long
-as high as forty-nine,
always good
because they can't be otherwise
-four, well maybe five"
These lines share statistical data about people's willingness to help. The data presented includes the fact that people are willing to help, as high as forty-nine. It also mentions that most people are good because they can't be otherwise. Additionally, it states that there might be four or maybe five exceptions.
Now let's consider the options:
A) Convince the reader that people are usually helpful to others.
This option is supported by the lines that mention people being glad to lend a hand and their willingness to help.
B) Present a balanced perspective of human qualities.
While the lines do present a perspective on human qualities, it does not necessarily provide a balanced perspective. The focus is more on the high level of willingness to help, with only a few exceptions mentioned.
C) Highlight the fact that most people lead very busy lives.
This option is not directly supported by the lines. The lines focus more on people's willingness to help, rather than their busyness.
D) Show that goodness can be found in almost everyone.
This option is supported by the lines that state that most people are good because they can't be otherwise, implying that goodness can be found in almost everyone.
Based on the analysis, both options A and D can be considered plausible answers. However, since the lines primarily focus on people's willingness to help rather than the general concept of goodness, option A, "convince the reader that people are usually helpful to others," seems to be the more accurate choice.
