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.

What is the truth about gatsbys past? and what do we learn about his family?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Though Gatsby himself turns the man away, Nick interrupts the narrative to relate Gatsby's past the truth of which he only learned much later to the reader. His real name is James Gatz, and he was born to an impoverished farmer in North Dakota, rather than into wealth in San Francisco, as he claimed. Hover for more information. In Chapter IV when Nick and Gatsby ride together into New York, Gatsby tells Nick about his past, in Gatsby's words "something about my life." He then tells Nick of his wealthy Midwestern family background and his Oxford education--a family tradition, he said.

What is religious tolerance? How do people practice in your society.describe in brief with examples.
Deffense [45]
Religious toleration is people allowing other people to think or practice other religions and beliefs.

When someone says they’re a theist and believe in something that you may think is absurd or crazy, you take them seriously anyway.

When someone says that they have to observe the Sabbath and will be unavailable, you take them seriously.

When someone politely apologizes that they can’t do something because it’s against their religious beliefs, with no harm to the other person, you accept their apology, realize they don’t mean to hurt you, and move on. (I’m excluding the case where this is being done because of discrimination or nefariousness).

When someone asks to eat in a restaurant that accords with their religion’s dietary laws, and this doesn’t negatively affect you, you go there instead of a different restaurant.
