#1 In this passage, which element does Mandela add to his description of the courage he needed to succeed in his mission?
In life, every man has twin obligations—obligations to his family, to his parents, to his wife and children; and he has an obligation to his people, his community, his country. In a civil and humane society, each man is able to fulfill those obligations according to his own inclinations and abilities. But in a country like South Africa, it was almost impossible for a man of my birth and color to fulfill both of those obligations. In South Africa, a man of color who attempted to live as a human being was punished and isolated. In South Africa, a man who tried to fulfill his duty to his people was inevitably ripped from his family and home and was forced to live a life apart, a twilight existence of secrecy and rebellion. I did not in the beginning choose to place my people above my family, but in attempting to serve my people, I found that I was prevented from serving my obligations as a son, a brother, a father, and a husband.

A. Vision
B. Rebellion
C. Sacrifice
D. Boldness

3. Advancements in technology are the biggest threat to preserving traditional cultures and local businesses.

2. It is effective because it explains a direct benefit of globalization to traditional cultures and economies.

3. It is ineffective because it contradicts the argument that globalization is damaging to traditional cultures.

4. It is somewhat effective because it explains why American companies want to expand to other countries.
