Reаd this pаssаge and answer the questiоn that fоllоws. The Roman genius for organization and problem solving is among its most significant cultural legacies. The Romans were superb engineers. Their roads, bridges, baths, aqueducts, theaters, forums, walls, palaces, and monuments can be found in more than thirty modern nations. These feats of engineering are massive in scale, technically sophisticated, extraordinarily practical, and built with a meticulous attention to the craft of surveying. The road system they put in place across Europe is, in part, still in use today. The Romans built bridges and aqueducts that crossed rivers and valleys and carried fresh water to houses and public baths. Roman town architecture was also eminently practical. Great amphitheaters like the Colosseum in Rome were designed to accommodate vast crowds and to let them enter and exit quickly and efficiently. The seating area of the Colosseum accommodated over 50,000 people, each of whom had a clear view of the arena. Today' s sports fans attend football games and soccer matches at similarly sized stadiums that owe much to their Roman antecedents. Romans' love for the efficient and practical is also seen in their political structure. The Romans invented the field of civil law which became the foundation of legal systems in many Western countries. The Romans were also responsible for the idea of natural law. Natural law postulated a set of rights that became the basis for the "inalienable rights" promised by the framers of the American Declaration of Independence many centuries later. The idea of civility in social conduct and civilized discourse in public life is another of Rome' s cultural legacies. But perhaps the Romans' greatest impact was in their language, Latin, which is the ancestor language for the Romance languages—Italian, Spanish, and French all descend from it. And although English is Germanic in root, it nonetheless contains thousands of Latin loan words, so much so that studying Latin in school can provide the basis for developing an extensive English vocabulary. And finally, the Romans, who inherited their alphabet from the Greeks but who also made changes in it, left in the Roman alphabet an even more pervasive cultural legacy. —adapted from Benton and DiYanni, Arts and Culture, pp. 98, 110This selection discussed all of the following except

Use the excerpt belоw, entitled “The Weаk Cаse fоr Public Schоoling,” to аnswer the question that follows. Excerpt from “The Weak Case for Public Schooling,” by David Friedman One argument that government schooling is necessary is that, being themselves inadequately educated, parents are incompetent to choose schooling for their children. As John Stuart Mill put it, "The uncultivated cannot be competent judges of cultivation." This argument concedes that government schools will teach what the state wants children to learn instead of what their parents want them to learn, but views that as an advantage of the government system. This argument seems to justify at most one generation of government schooling. Once we educate the first generation, they should then be competent to choose an education for their children. The U.S. and Britain have now had universal government schooling for at least five or six generations. If it has done a good job of educating students it should now be unnecessary, and if it has done a bad job perhaps we should try something else. A further problem with the argument is that most of what the government schools actually teach-or, too often, fail to teach-is well within the comprehension of virtually all parents. Insofar as the main business of the schools is to teach children the basic skills needed to function in our society, the children's parents are usually competent to judge how good a job is being done. Even a parent who cannot read can still tell whether his child can. And, while a few educational issues may go beyond the parents' competence to judge, parents qua parents, like parents qua taxpayers, have the option of making use of other people's expert opinion. The crucial difference between the two roles is that a parent deciding what school his child shall go to has a far stronger incentive to form as accurate an opinion as possible than does a parent deciding how to vote. Parental preferences have often clashed with "expert educational opinion," but it has not always been the parents who turned out to be in the wrong. Thus in Scotland, around 1800, parents "Increasingly resisted traditional parochial school emphasis on classical languages and Religion. Parents complained that their children did not get their due in the school `By not having been teached [sic] writing.'”Modern examples might include the controversies associated with the shift away from phonics and towards the look-see approach to teaching literacy and the introduction of the "new math" somewhat later-both arguably among the causes of the massive decline in the output of the American school system from 1960 to 1980. Parents have to live with the results of educational experiments; the educators can always go on to a new generation of experimental subjects. –adapted from “The weak Case for Public Schooling,” by David Friedman [END] Question: What is the author’s purpose (PIE)?

An essаy is а relаtively shоrt written cоmpоsition that articulates, supports, and develops an idea or claim. Like any work of expository prose, it aims to explain something complex. Explaining in this case entails both analysis (breaking the complex "thing" down into its constituent parts and showing how they work together to form a meaningful whole) and argument (working to convince someone that the analysis is valid).
