Answer:

D). It highlights the contrast between the Dursley’s excitement for the dinner and Harry’s loneliness.

Explanation:

Repetition is elucidated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices in which the author repeats a word or phrase in order to emphasize or highlight a specific idea. While 'tone' is described as the author's approach or attitude towards a specific subject matter reflected through the diction and language adopted by the author to convey it.

As per the question, Harry's constant repetition of the phrase 'I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I’m not there' affects the tone of the given passage by highlighting the disparity between the excitement of Dursley and the loneliness of Harry. It shifts the tone from cheerful to serious and emphasizes Harry's isolation due to his family's fear over his special powers. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

What is the relationship between reason and faith, according to Aquinas?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Reason is subservient to faith.

Explanation:

According to Aquinas, Reason comprises of things that we know from what we have seen and what we think. From reason we know that God exists. Reason does not require a revelation from God for us to know.

Faith comprises of things that we know from God revelation to us. The revelation can be from the bible or what is being taught in the church. An example of faith is that we know that Jesus died for us so that we would have eternal life.

Faith cannot be known from reason alone but faith builds on what we know (i.e. reason). Hence Reason is subservient to faith.

Faith and truth are similar and there should be no difference between what faith and reason tells us.
