The answer is: attempt.

In the philosophical poem "An Essay on Man," the author Alexander Pope suggests that man has learned about nature and the universe through science, and that many times he has tried to imitate God. Besides, he mentions that humanity should not try to pretend to be or study God but focus on itself.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>D-attempt </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interpretation is an attempt. This is the nearest best option of presuming. From the text, the pope attempts to encourage the audience of not sizing up with God with his dealings to human beings, providences, and his creatures. When making presumptions, we are making God in our image and that precisely the pope is trying to explain. Also, power says that when one knows himself or herself, they would not wish to test God or do something that is against his will.

Same Sex Marriage. One state has it, federal law prohibits it. Many states also prohibit it and prohibit recognizing such a marriage from another state. (In essence violating the full faith and credit clause of the constitution, but there are lots of examples that in law) The US supreme court has not weighed in. So the issue is open. This issue could go lots of ways, depending on what cases get to the supreme court.
