Answer 1

1)For lessing,the elites are charaterized by (d) all of the above

2)For Lessing,for lessing to leave prisons we choose to live inside requires (a) to learn only what is immediately useful,what is functional

Excerpts from the book 'We may learn how to look at ourselves and at the society we live in, in that calm, cool, critical and sceptical way which is the only possible stance for a civilized human being, or so have said all the philosophers and the sages.
But all the pressures go the other way, towards learning what is immediately useful, what is functional. More and more the demand is for people to be educated to function in an almost certainly temporary stage of technology. Educated for the short term.”
