Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer.

This passage is excerpted from an essay written in nineteenth-century England.

Literally and truly, one cannot get on well in the world without money. To be in want of it, is to pass through life with little credit or pleasure; it is to live out of the world, or to be despised if you come into it; it is not to be sent for to court, or asked out to dinner, or noticed in the street; it is not to have your opinion consulted or else rejected with contempt, to have your acquirements carped at and doubted, your good things disparaged, and at last to lose the wit and the spirit to say them; it is to be scrutinized by strangers, and neglected by friends; it is to be a thrall to circumstances, an exile in one's own country; to forego leisure, freedom, ease of body and mind, to be dependent on the good-will and caprice of others, or earn a precarious and irksome livelihood by some laborious employment; it is to be compelled to stand behind a counter, or to sit at a desk in some public office, or to marry your landlady, or not the person you would wish; or to go out to the East or West Indies, or to get a situation as judge abroad, and return home with a liver-complaint; or to be a law-stationer, or a scrivener or scavenger, or newspaper reporter; or to read law and sit in court without a brief; or to be deprived of the use of your fingers by transcribing Greek manuscripts, or to be a seal-engraver and pore yourself blind; or to go upon the stage, or try some of the Fine Arts; with all your pains, anxiety, and hopes, and most probably to fail, or, if you succeed, after the exertions of years, and undergoing constant distress of mind and fortune, to be assailed on every side with envy, back-biting, and falsehood, or to be a favourite with the public for awhile, and then thrown into the background—or a gaol*, by the fickleness of taste and some new favourite; to be full of enthusiasm and extravagance in youth, of chagrin and disappointment in after-life; to be jostled by the rabble because you do not ride in your coach, or avoided by those who know your worth and shrink from it as a claim on their respect or their purse; to be a burden to your relations, or unable to do anything for them; to be ashamed to venture into crowds; to have cold comfort at home; to lose by degrees your confidence and any talent you might possess; to grow crabbed, morose, and querulous, dissatisfied with every one, but most so with yourself; and plagued out of your life, to look about for a place to die in, and quit the world without any one's asking after your will. The wiseacres will possibly, however, crowd round your coffin, and raise a monument at a considerable expense, and after a lapse of time, to commemorate your genius and your misfortunes!

*jail

The speaker's primary purpose in the passage is to

argue that money is a necessary evil in life and one which provides mixed blessings
defend the argument that desire for money is a misguided aspiration in one's life
explain why those with money are guaranteed to enjoy the finer things in life
illustrate how lack of money greatly and negatively impacts one's quality of life
reveal the true nature of money as it pertains to happiness and well-being

HEY GUYS I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IF THIS SUMMARY FOR MY ENGLISH MAKES SENSE THANKS!!!!!

Question:
Read Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” You may have read this story in a lesson in the unit. If you did, take some time to review the story. If you have not read it, read it now. As you read the story, take notes on the following points:

the circumstances of the narrator’s imprisonment
the condition of the narrator’s prison
the narrator’s reaction to his prison and torture
historical references or allusions that appear in the story

My answer:
"The Pit and the Pendulum" tells a story about a man who was punished to death by the sponge institution even though he is not sure about what is reality and illusion, he feels like he is punished to death. He felt shocked, confused and fearful for the sentence he got and what will happen in the future.

The man describes the mental fear that has passed him, sounds, images, bruises, and mental confusion that appeared around him. The prison is a dark and spooky place.
During the torture section, the man is tied under a pendulum that has a very sharp blade. The pendulum swings side to side very slowly, but he realizes that as time passes, the pendulum goes down more and more, cutting his chest slowly. The man somehow gets free from the ropes, but then realizes that the walls are coming together, making the man have no choice but to jump into the well built in the middle of his prison.

The story shows that these are the methods of torture that Spanish Institution used to kill their victims slowly.wer:
