Which line in these excerpts from the play Everyman implies that the common people of the time were leading a life dedicated to material gain and pleasure-seeking activities?
Of ghostly sight the people be so blind,
Drowned in sin, they know me not for their God.
In worldly riches is all their mind:
They fear not my righteousness, the sharp rod;
…
Out of God's laws, and dreadeth not folly.
He that loveth riches I will strike with my dart,
His sight to blind, and from heaven to depart,
Except that Almsdeeds be his good friend,
…
For before God thou shalt answer and show
Thy many bad deeds and good but a few--
How thou hast spent thy life and in what wise,

If you have to choose just one line, then the answer is In worldly riches is all their mind; and if you need an entire stanza, then I would choose the first one.

In worldly riches is all their mind - this line tells us that the common people of the time only care about the 'worldly riches,' or rather the material things in life. They are not religious, they don't care much about their 'neighbor,' but what they do want to pursue in life is their own pleasure and satisfaction.

The Everyman wants to change that, which is why he starts a journey towards God.

Answer:

In worldly riches is all their mind.

Explanation:

This is the line that implies that the common people of the time were leading a life dedicated to material gain and pleasure-seeking activities. The line tells us that their mind (that of the common people) was dedicated to "worldly riches." In other words, people were focused on making money, as opposed to cultivating higher desires. Everyman dislikes this, and he desires a religious and spiritual salvation.
