Question

Excerpt from A Defence of Skeletons

Answer 1

Answer:

C, He maintains that the fear of death and skeletons is irrational and should be conquered.

Explanation:

Here is what in the text makes me believe this.

• "So he is mysteriously ashamed of the skeleton of himself in death." He finds it mysterious to why people are ashamed or afraid of skeletons.
• "One would think it would be most unwise in a man to be afraid of a skeleton..." His reflection upon the fear of skeletons.
• "A man might as well say that a factory chimney was typical of bankruptcy." I interpret this as making fun of the fear of skeletons.
• "There is no reason why this creature... the living skeleton, should not become the essential symbol of life." I think he's proclaiming that skeletons deserve more credit.

Hopefully this helps. Sorry my response was so long. Good luck.
