Read this excerpt from theodore roosevelt’s "duties of american citizenship" speech:
but this is aside from my subject, for what i wish to talk of is the attitude of the american citizen in civic life. it ought to be axiomatic in this country that every man must devote a reasonable share of his time to doing his duty in the political life of the community. no man has a right to shirk his political duties under whatever plea of pleasure or business; and while such shirking may be pardoned in those of small cleans it is entirely unpardonable in those among whom it is most common—in the people whose circumstances give them freedom in the struggle for life. in so far as the community grows to think rightly, it will likewise grow to regard the young man of means who shirks his duty to the state in time of peace as being only one degree worse than the man who thus shirks it in time of war. a great many of our men in business, or of our young men who are bent on enjoying life (as they have a perfect right to do if only they do not sacrifice other things to enjoyment), rather plume themselves upon being good citizens if they even vote; yet voting is the very least of their duties, nothing worth gaining is ever gained without effort. you can no more have freedom without striving and suffering for it than you can win success as a banker or a lawyer without labor and effort, without self-denial in youth and the display of a ready and alert intelligence in middle age. the people who say that they have not time to attend to politics are simply saying that they are unfit to live in a free community.
what does theodore roosevelt claim in the excerpt?
a.) all people have the right to enjoy life and shouldn’t be forced to make sacrifices.
b.) all people should exercise their duty to vote and be good citizens.
c.) all people should dedicate a fair amount of their time to politics.
d.) all people who do not vote are unworthy to live in a free, democratic nation.

Ответ:
Considering the tone and the message in the excerpt, I believe the correct answer to be option C: "All people should dedicate a fair amount of their time to politics", this is because of the way Roosevelt says that everyone has a civic duty and there is no excuse that justifies not fulfilling said duty. He also says that voting is the least a person could do and by doing so, is not to be regarded as a "good citizen" since they could be doing more. So basically, it isn't option A or B or D, especially this last one since he condemns people who vote not just those who do not vote.

Observation: Observation is the process of watching someone or something. Often, observation is an informal action, but it can also be formal and involve data collection. An observation can also be the collected information itself. (The doctor gave the child a shot. The girl watched the soccer game very closely. The chemistry student studied her results from the experiment.
Inference: An inference is an idea or conclusion that's drawn from evidence and reasoning. An inference is an educated guess. (His tire is flat, so he must have driven over a nail. It smells smoky outside, the neighbors are probably cooking. Erin is not in class, she probably has the flu.)
