Answer 2

Answer:

D). Was interested in the chain of the divine.

Explanation:

Saint Thomas gave a specific place to the angels in his work as he believed that they were an essential element of the christian mystery. The key reason was that he was quite involved in the divide chain and willing to validate the existence of almighty through the figures of angels. He says that 'angels are the blessed creations and messengers of God. They are the impalpable spirits of divine power of intelligence which is quite close to the almighty.' Thomas believed that they have been assigned for specific roles by God himself which include; 'worship of almighty, implementation of physical laws and ordering of God's creation, and being the messenger of god' to deliver his messages(like Gabriel delivered to Virgin Mary). Thus, options B and D are the correct answers.
