In <em>Essay on Man,</em> Pope discusses the relationship between men and God. He argues that men cannot hope to learn God's reasoning behind his creation of the world. Therefore, they can only trust that he has done what is best, and accept the outcome.

Pope is concerned that, with the advancement of science, people are becoming overly arrogant, and they think they are "imitating God." However, this arrogance only makes us fools and diminishes the purity of our spiritual essence. He says: "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan/The proper study of Mankind is Man." Men should focus on the study of men, and not on the questioning of God.

In Alexander Pope's Essay on Man, the speaker talks about how God has created a world that is best for humankind. He also talks about how the universe is all-embracing and that everything is right and good. Even though a person is driven by the wrong reasons, he can learn to develop good practices out of it or eventually change to something good.

Suppor 5. A group of youth were used as part of this movement. What was the group called? How were the members picked?​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Hitler youth

In his book Mein Kampf, written in the 1920s, Hitler said, “Whoever has the youth has the future.” Even before they came to power in 1933, Nazi leaders had begun to organize groups that would train young people according to Nazi principles. By 1936, all “Aryan” children in Germany over the age of six were required to join a Nazi youth group. At ten, boys were initiated into the Jungvolk (Young People), and at 14 they were promoted to the Hitler Youth. Their sisters joined the Jungmädel (Young Girls) and were later promoted to the League of German Girls. Hitler hoped that “These young people will learn nothing else but how to think German and act German. . . . And they will never be free again, not in their whole lives.”

Although membership in the Hitler Youth organizations was compulsory, many young people did not have to be forced to join. In fact, they were eager to do so, drawn by the sense of belonging and importance they felt as members of these groups. In 1938, a boy named Hans Wolf wrote a story about his experiences in the Hitler Youth that was published in a school textbook. The story was called “Comradeship.”

What line is an example of iambic pentameter
Semenov [28]
<span>A specific type of foot is an iamb. A foot is an iamb if it consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, so the word remark is an iamb. Pent means five, so a line of iambic pentameter consists of five iambs – five sets of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.</span>
