The author mentions "industry and honesty and equality” in order to make the point that:
Options:
A .  some moral habits are not as valuable as many claim
B .  fate tends to favor those who are virtuous
C .  too many people disdain ethical behavior
D .  the natural order reflects a moral order
Answer: Option A
:
A
The author is discussing how capricious (whimsical/ changeable) nature is in revealing its resources, and suggests that anyone trying to harvest the earth’s resources must become a gambler, and scoff at theorists who prate (speak inconsequentially) of moral virtues such as industry and honesty and equality. Therefore, the author is suggesting that these virtues are not as valuable as many people claim they are.
