And here i have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. but in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest.

the theme expressed in this paragraph is that

even wise people do foolish things at times.
those who sacrifice for others are great people.
sacrificing one’s most prized possessions is foolish.
wise people are often those with the fewest possessions

The correct answer is those who sacrifice for others are great people.

Explanation:

In literature, theme is defined as the main idea of a text. It does not have to be mentioned directly, since readers can infer it.

In the paragraph, there are several elements that indicate how the speaker appreciates sacrifice when he mentions "the greatest treasures of their house"; even though at the beginning he describes the event as lame, the ending states how great are people who sacrifice by describing them as the wisest.

D: Triangles ABD and CDB are congruent by the ASA postulate instead of the SAS postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on the test for one, but two, we must look at the two lines before:

1.) Similarly, alternate interior angle ADB is equal to angle CBD because AD and BC are parallel lines.

So we have two angles, and:

2.) DB is equal to DB by the reflexive property.

So, we see that we have two angles, and one line, what is that? That is ASA! Not SAS, now if the proof provided an angle and a line on 1, and then the reflexive property in 2, then SAS would be correct, but the proof called two angles and that side, so they need to say ASA.
