Read the excerpt from Annus Mirabilis by John Dryden. What viewpoint does the excerpt reflect?

2 answers:

4 0

The excerpt seems to be reflecting the viewpoint put forward in option a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes. For example, the line referring to the 'undistinguish'd seeds of good and ill' seems to insinuate that human beings are not able to work out which seeds will grow to be good or bad.

Answer: The right answer is the a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this excerpt does not specifically refer to God, but to Heaven. In addition, it does not talk about the difficulty that humans experience to make friends with foes or to think well of them. Heaven is seen here as an omnipotent and powerful force that does not help humans discern the result of a good or an evil action, and, consequently, often confounds them, letting them believe that friends are foes and vice versa. The right answer is, therefore, the A. Humans often act without fully evaluating the consequences of their actions, since they do not have all the information at hand to do so.

All literature written after 1920 is difficult to understand and lacks the poise, elegance, and refinement of traditional litera

dybincka [34]

The logical fallacy that is being used in the passage is B) overgeneralization.

Although there are some narratives written after 1920 that are characterized by their complexity such as William Faulkner's works, not all literature written after that time is difficult to understand. Furthermore, complexity is not a synonym of a lack of elegance or refinement.

There are flaws in reasoning in this passage due to hasty generalization. Overgeneralization occurs when someone unable to consider the whole panorama generalises from inadequate or insufficient evidence and reaches a rushed conclusion about a certain subject. It is overgeneralization what has lead this passage to become an illogical statement.
