There is indeed another custom, which I cannot altogether approve of: when the king has a mind to put any of his nobles to death

in a gentle indulgent manner, he commands to have the floor strewn with a certain brown powder of a deadly composition, which being licked up, infallibly kills him in twenty-four hours.
Which setting does the passage above indicate?

the moments between meals in the king’s home

a peaceful afternoon at the home of a noble

the time of execution in the king’s palace

a calm day at a dirt-covered park

The answer to this question is "the time of execution of the king's palace". In the given passage, part of their custom, when somebody commits an unforgivable crime, he will be punished with death. Although, the King does not like this kind of scene on his palace he needs to follow what is needed. He then commanded his men to clean the floor and spread the powder which will be caused to the person after licking it in 24 hours. This kind of death is gentle.

18. "... Thousands at [God's] bidding speed/And post o'er land and ocean without rest:/They also serve who only stand and wait."
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

C) A person does not have to accomplish great things to serve God.

Explanation:

These are last lines from John Milton’s (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) one of the most famous short poems  "When I Consider How My Light is Spent" or alternatively known as “On His Blindness”.

In the context of these lines Milton compares God with a King and contrasts Him with a lord. In these lines Milton says that God has innumerable (thousands) working at his state moving speedily from place to place (Thousands at his bidding speed). These tasks need men to have light and vision. Since God has innumerable resources he does not need every one to do an active work. Sometimes God also appoints some people on standby and work when the right time comes.

In brief, Milton being previously very active in social and political matters of the country knows that working actively for God is a good deed. But those who are physically hampered (like Milton) also serve God in waiting for their turn to accomplish a task when it is assigned.
