Answer:

Explanation:

This quote means that the person who knows what the limits of their knowledge are is actually a very smart person. They know how little they know about the world, how much more there is beyond their imagination, and that they are not the smartest person there is. Therefore, they will be very conscious and careful with their conclusions and decisions – they will know they can’t offer the complete answer to anything and that there might be someone who might offer more information than them.

Knowing the limits of ourselves is a very important thing to realize, especially in order not to be narcissistic and to jump to the wrong conclusions, resulting in various prejudices and misinformation.

Answer:

C. Helen told Fred that she would love him ever-more.
