D) However, the idea never dawned on me that long before Columbus ever left Spain, real-life people lived for thousands of years in what would become the United States.

This sentence has the most clarity because none of the pieces interrupt another. It begins with the transition that shows what follows is a change. The next piece is the narrator talking about the idea that never dawned on her. By having this part first, we know that the information that follows is the idea that never entered her mind until now. Then the idea follows. In option C the idea statement is interrupted by the actual idea. In option B the idea statement is interrupted by however. Option A has the idea statement after the entire rest of the sentence which also doesn't work for clarity.

Which 2 lines from john miltons paradise lost provide clues to his purpose in writing the epic poem?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

<em>I may assert th’ Eternal Providence,</em>

<em>And justifie the wayes of God to men.</em>

Explanation:

John Milton's epic narrative poem "Paradise Lost" is a retelling of the Biblical story of the fall of man from God's grace and from the garden of Eden. This poem was written by Milton as an effort to retell the story for the better understanding of the people.

Book I of the text provides the prologue of the epic poem where Milton states that "I may assert th’ Eternal Providence,/And justifie the wayes of God to men". These lines from line 25 and 26 seems to be the main purpose of this work. Invoking to the supreme to "aid to (his) adventrous Song", he continues to state his purpose, that he had wanted to let the world understand more easily the fall of man from grace, and out of the Garden of Eden.

Thus, the two lines that provide clues to his purpose in writing the epic poem will be

<em>I may assert th’ Eternal Providence,</em>

<em>And justifie the wayes of God to men.</em>
