Kaylah Cole · Answer 1

A) This passage is an example of the Protestant work ethic.

Explanation:

The Protestant work ethic is a way to refer to the values that protestants consider important in their lives. In this quote, the author talks about the value of hard work. He states that leisure, or time to relax, is pleasurable to a man who works hard, but not to one who is lazy. This shows that true rest can only be achieved after hard work. The sentence indicates that the author, much like the Protestants, considers hard work to be ethically and morally valuable, as well as superior to laziness.
