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.

Ok, I'll do them all in order for you
Topic 1: Everyone should get an education, because it can get them higher paying jobs, make them more interesting as people, and, most of all, a more well informed citizen.

Topic 2: Bowling is a fantastic sport that everyone should play, because it has no age restrictions, it can be played at any time of the day, and it's cost effective.

Topic 3: Children require lots of care, as they have physical, and emotional needs to be met, and they also need help growing mentally.

Topic 4: Driving a car is a very big responsibility, as you must be careful not to harm yourself or others, abide by the rules of the road, and safely make it to your destination.

Topic 5: I think the school funding a new computer lab would be very beneficial, because the students can use it to do research for a paper, study for a test, or just do research for fun to learn new things that interest them.

Topic 6: I believe celebrities can act as good role models, as they may have a positive influence on their followers by sharing good messages with them, they may connect with their followers on a personal level, and they can even inspire their followers to be successful in life.

Really hope you get an A dude, good luck :)
