Furthermore, by getting rid of the court and the marketplace we do not get rid of the principal worries of our life   Ambition, avarice, irresolution, fear and lust do not leave us when we change our country   They often follow us even into the cloisters and schools of philosophy. Neither deserts, nor rocky caves, nor hair shirts, nor fastings will free us of them.  \n--Michel de Montaigne,“Of solitude”  \n1.Which of the following best captures the theme of the passage?  \nA..
