Plz help :,) Read the passage.

Early Civilization

Early humans, who lived long ago, lived very differently than humans live today. Before the wheel was invented, people needed to travel to find food, water, safety, or work. They traveled everywhere by foot for necessity. When the wheel was invented, everything changed. People and animals were able to pull carts and move easily from one place to another. They were able to trade goods, and they grew curious about the world around them.

This curiosity and need for survival encouraged new ideas. People wanted to cross water, looking for necessities, such as food and shelter. This exploration led to the creation of the first sailboat. With traveling becoming easier, they realized they could achieve more knowledge, trade, and power.

The Industrial Revolution

In the mid-1700s, many new inventions initiated the time period known as the Industrial Revolution. Soon, travel would expand to the use of trains and become affordable for more people. In 1841, Thomas Cook had an idea. He would personally organize an entertaining train ride and a delicious lunch for a large group of people. With this new idea, everybody wins. The railway company was happy to fill so many seats. Passengers were happy because they didn't have to organize their own journey or food. Thomas Cook was happy, too, because he received a share of the profits. Then, he started advertising tours of different cultures and foreign countries. This launched the tourism industry and was a great success. Traveling was becoming a leisure activity.

The two main ideas from the passage are that early humans used to travel as a means of survival, and the evolution of transportation allowed people to travel for enjoyment. Select the best group of sentences from the text that support these ideas.

A "Before the wheel was invented, people needed to travel to find food, water, safety, or work." . . . "He would personally organize an entertaining train ride and a delicious lunch for a large group of people."

Excerpt from 100% - the story of a patriot upton sinclair 10 so peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. there were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and peter wanted an easy one. there are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale. 11 peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. in a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at peter gudge? why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? no one did care; no one did dream. 12 it was about two o'clock of an afternoon in july, and the sun beat down upon the streets of american city. there were crowds upon the streets, and peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the smithers faction and the lunk faction in the first apostolic church, otherwise known as the holy rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. but peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this european quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. based on the author's characterization of peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him? a) industrious b) loyal c) patriotic d) poor
