Answer:

B. idioms

Explanation:

<u>Idioms are phrases or expressions that say one thing but are in fact conveying a different meaning which is previously culturally established. </u>

If one tries to understand them literally, they won’t have much sense. Yet, those who know language proficiently will understand the meaning of these phases in a metaphoric sense accepted in the common language and the symbolic matter.

<u>Some of the examples can be:</u>

  • <u>when the pigs fly</u> – this means something will never happen, as pigs do not fly
  • <u>piece of cake</u> – means something is very easily achieved and accomplished with little effort.
  • <u>to pull someone’s leg </u>– idiom meaning to joke with someone, to make them believe in something which is not true, but in a playful way. \
  • <u>to break the ice</u> – meaning to do something first and make others at ease, to relieve the tension.

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.
