The Chorus Leader wonders if this act could “not be something from the gods” because in their Greek society the gods were held to a very elevated position in the world. They were believed to dictate whatever happened in the world and that themselves as mortals held little control over what happened.
Explanation:
This is shown in the quote, “ Men, after much tossing of our ship of state, the gods have safely set things right again.” This quote implies that the Greek society believes that the gods hold a lot of power in the flow of things, like setting things right. This means that the Chorus leader could’ve thought that this event was an act by the gods since they control much of their world and since the guards are claiming innocence which supports that it could be a third party that intervened.
The correct answer is C. He was not well-liked by others.
He wasn't liked at all, which is why he is the first one who visits Scrooge to tell him that he needs to change or he will die alone and miserable just like him.
