The speaker seems to not be too pleased with the characteristics of the woman he is describing. He's saying her eyes are dull compared to the brightness of the sun, her lips are drab and have no color compared to red coral, her breasts are dun, her hair looks like wires coming out of her head, her breath stinks and that her cheeks have no color and are plain. I suppose in spite of all that he finds unpleasant about her, he still loves her and thinks she is rare and valuable.
Answer:
Santiago, the protagonist in Hemingway's famed The Old Man and the Sea is compared to a Christ.
Explanation:
Santiago is compared to Christ through Christian allegory, as his suffering is the same as the suffering of Christ. He physically suffered to achieve a spiritual triumph.

Hope this helps :)

The correct answer is 4. No, because he digresses into another topic and does not address historical knowledge.
Explanation
At the beginning of the paragraph, the author announces the sentence "In no other department is a thorough knowledge of history so important as a philosophy". However, nowhere in the paragraph does he develop this idea, on the contrary, he mentions other issues such as the relationship between philosophy and other fields such as exact inqury, the arts (as he mentioned in "on the other hand, in touch with exact inquiry, while, on the other, it has a certain relationship with art"), natural sciences, metaphysical principles, among others. From the above, it can be inferred that the correct answer is 4. No, because he digresses into another topic and does not address historical knowledge.
