the utopians work hard to make gold and silver seem less valuable.

Explanation:

The text shows that Utopians use gold and silver for low - status items like chamber - pots and slave chains, making them less valuable. Drinking from glass cups shows preference for other materials over gold/silver. Having public and private houses is not relevant to devaluing gold/silver. Working hard to make them seem less valuable is a general statement, not an example.

Answer:

The Utopians drink from glass cups, The Utopians make chamber - pots out of gold, The Utopians use gold to chain enslaved people
