Question

TO

Answer 1

Merciful over all his works, with good

Still overcoming evil, and by small

Accomplishing great things, by things deemed weak

Subverting worldly strong, and worldly wise

By simply meek; that suffering for Truth’s sake

Is fortitude to highest victory,

A man should be worldly wise but never weak.

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

In the excerpt which has been given above, it talks about the strength of a man. According to this, a man should be very strong, he should not be weak. But this does not mean that he can speak without thinking what to speak and can speak what ever he wants to.

A man should think before he speaks. He should be very wise while choosing his words but this does not mean that he should not show his strength through words.

Answer 2

Answer:

One good man, though weak, can accomplish great things.

Explanation:

John Milton's Paradise Lost is an epic narrative about the saving of men by God's only son Jesus Christ. This epic poem revolves around the Biblical story of the fall of man from the Garden of Eden, and thus their banishment from Paradise.

The one just man is a reference to Noah, who built an ark alone and led to the safety of the human race. Likewise, the theme of the "one just man" with the given lines show that a good man may be weak but he is also capable of saving the whole world. This is also a reference to the saving act of Jesus Christ by dying for the sinners of the world on the cross.
