Hello!
In this excerpt from Herman Melville’s short story "The Lightning-Rod Man," the 2 sentences best support an objective summary of the excerpt are:
B) An elevation of five feet above the house, will protect twenty feet radius all about the rod.
F) Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations? The hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives. In thunder as in sunshine, I stand at ease in the hands of my God.
I hope to have helped :)
Plot
In his thoughts on <em>Poetics</em> (or what we would call the dramatic arts), Aristotle said that every tragedy (a dramatic, serious play) contains six elements: "Plot, Character, Diction, Thought, Spectacle, Song." Of these, he identified plot as the most critical element of drama. Here's why, according to Aristotle (from his <em>Poetics</em>, as translated by S.H. Butcher):
<em>
The most important of all is the structure of the incidents. For tragedy is an imitation, not of men, but of an action and of life, and life consists in action, and its end is a mode of action, not a quality. Now character determines men's qualities, but it is by their actions that they are happy or the reverse. ... Hence the incidents and the plot are the end of a tragedy; and the end is the chief thing of all. ... The plot, then, is the first principle, and, as it were, the soul of a tragedy. ... Tragedy is the imitation of an action, and of the agents mainly with a view to the action.
</em>
You'll notice in the quoted section that Aristotle speaks of the "end" or purpose of drama as well as the "first principle" of drama, putting plot or actions into that position. This is consistent with Aristotle's general pattern of thought, which was <em>teleological</em> -- looking for the ends or purposes of things, and seeing those ends or purposes as the first principles of things.
