Read the excerpt below and respond to the prompt. The first thing to be said about St. Thomas as an anthropologist, is that he i

s really remarkably like the best sort of modern biological anthropologist. ... He adopts almost literally the Huxleyan definition of the Agnostic method; "To follow reason as far as it will go"; the only question is-where does it go? He lays down the almost startlingly modern or materialist statement; "Every thing that is in the intellect has been in the senses. ... The Schoolmen may have shot too far beyond our limits in pursuing the Cherubim and Seraphim. But in asking whether a man can choose or whether a man will die, they were asking ordinary questions in natural history; like whether a cat can scratch or whether a dog can smell. Nothing calling itself a complete Science of Man can shirk them. ("The Permanent Philosophy"; pp. 1-2) Explain why G. K. Chesterton claims, "St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps more than he is anything else, is a great anthropologist." Your explanation should be at least 150 words.

Answer:

Chesterton explains how Thomas Aquinas was way ahead of his time in understanding what it means to be human and had a developed a great sense for ontology. He would argue that there are many of his own contemporaries that think and develop their ideas just like Aquinas did. You can use this as a starting point and develop your essay.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he

summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court,

Identify the type of transitional word or phrase in the sentence below:
Vinil7 [7]
The right answer is D) Cronological.

Explanation:
When something is ordered chronologically, it means that there’s either steps, or a history to be explained before getting to the end result. You can tell the transition is D because of the use of the word “First” which is letting you know that there are more things in order after that step.

Which is the best way to combine sentences two and three
torisob [31]

Let me break it down for you, starting with:

A. That was when I realized my decision was final; but there was no turning back. Now, at first glance, this seems like a pretty good answer, right? Wrong, you don't need that "but" there, doesn't it seem a bit out of place? Now, I'm not saying this isn't something you can do, but it's not the best answer choice.

B. That was when I realized my decision was final; however, there was no turning back. "However" is a word that you usually don't see people use a lot.  Now, to me, as someone who likes lengthy writing, I would choose this answer choice, but since it asks for the best answer choice, this one isn't the correct one.

C. That was when I realized my decision was final; also there was no turning back. Anyone with a brain can tell that this is obviously a wrong answer; you wouldn't just say, "Also, there was no turning back." in the middle of a sentence, it doesn't fit there.

D. That was when I realized my decision was final, and there was no turning back. Read this aloud, you can tell that it sounds and slides off the tongue nicer than the other three sentences.

D is the correct answer.

Examine the following paragraph for errors;
DerKrebs [107]
Rita’s most favourite place in the world is the beach, a magical place full of life. Everything is in motion there, from the ferris wheel and the unceasingly pounding waves to the shores’ sand shifting back and fourth due to the tides. Beaches present a myriad of activities such as: snorkelling, surging and crabbing. Each day at the Beach with her friends and family is a miracle.
———-

Ok! So Beach is a noun, meaning it needs to be capitalized. (person place or thing. In this case a place) therefore a noun.

Good luck!
