Answer:
Allusion.
Explanation:
The allusion is exemplified as the literary device through which the author proposes a quick and indirect allusion or reference to a particular personality, place, event, idea, or object that carries its significance historically, literary, politically, and culturally. The chief aim of employing such a device is to uplift the contextual value and relevance of the text.
In the given quote, the author employs literary allusion to enhance the contextual worth of the text (as reflected by the reference to great literary fiction like 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley and G.B. Shaw's famous play 'Pygmalion') that requires the readers' to possess prior knowledge to have a comprehensive understanding of the author's intended idea. Therefore, '<u>allusion</u>' is the correct answer.
Answer: Survival
Explanation:
According to Thomas Hobbes, if there was no government on Earth, people would endlessly fight for resources because they would feel that they each have a right to these resources and this could end the human race.
He therefore argues that it is important that humans create a commonwealth where a sovereign has absolute power over everything such that they can keep people from fighting over resources and therefore ensure the survival of the human race.
<span> B is your answer confirmed by someone who took it</span>
The two parts of the excerpt from Christopher Marlowe's<em> The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus</em> (1592) are "Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits/ To practise more than heavenly power permits".
These two excerpts show that <u>access to knowledge is conceived as dangerous. The word 'wits' in the first part refers to the powers of intelligent observation and keen perception that are closely related to 'unlawful things'</u>, that is, things that are not morally right. Furthermore, the phrase<u> "more than heavenly power permits"</u> in the second part<u> </u>is key to understand that, in the play, <u>higher knowledge has been forbidden since getting access to it can bring terrible consequences</u>. The entire play, whose main character sells his soul to the devil to access knowledge, warns the readers about the dangers of pursuing knowledge.
