Answer:

The correct answer is:

True

Explanation:

The author William James talks about the importance of a "momentous option" in his lecture "The Will to Believe" published in 1896 in which he generally explains the importance of believing in certain concepts that have not been scientifically proven. One of the beliefs explained in the lecture, is the momentous option which refers to the specific moments in life that are presented normally for a really short period of time in a spontaneous way that  lead to decisions almost forced, but that represent significant events in life.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

"The Will to Believe" is a lecture by William James. It was first published in 1896 and defends the adoption of a belief without evidence of its truth.

In this lecture, James defines a "momentous option" is an irrevocable option for significant stakes. A momentous choice is supposed to be taken at the moment, because there will not be a second opportunity to make it.

Therefore, a momentous option is a choice between alternative beliefs that cannot be postponed (there won't be a second opportunity) or, at least, can only be postponed with significant loss.

julsineya [31]
1. The narrator's nine-year-old daughter, knowing that her father writes war stories, asks him if he has ever killed anyone. The narrator says no but resolves to tell her the truth when she is grown (so yes she might ask the same question when she is older.)
2. because he wants his writing to be heard.
3. because it was his thing to kill anyone he saw, so his body reacted way before he has time to think whether or not he should kill or not. I probably would’ve done the same.
4. he focuses on the deaths because those thoughts aren’t easy to go away.

Which event contributed to the american colonists decision to write the declaration of independence and separate from great brit
vazorg [7]

<span>The declaration of independence sprouted from many reasons. The Americans believed that the British government were unfair to the colonists. Tax laws were imposed in favor of the British government. The Parliament had no American representatives to discuss on the laws. A good example would be when the Great British government intentionally wanted to have the American colonists pay imported goods tax.</span>
