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.

There are several things Sean should do:
1. Talk with his teacher. Sean should see if his teacher can explain where he went wrong on the homework assignment to help him understand how to fix his mistakes.

Read the following sentence and identify its type.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

According to structure, this sentence is a COMPLEX SENTENCE.

According to function, this sentence is a DECLARATIVE SENTENCE.

Explanation:

This is a COMPLEX SENTENCE.

  • A complex sentence has one or more dependent clauses.

This is because the thought is complete. It has a subject and a predicate (the action or information about the subject). "The students are studying."

  • Due to the subordinating conjunctions, a dependent clause has both a subject and a predicate (before, although, since, when). "Because he is unprepared."

With the most votes, he garnered only 40% of the popular vote. It has one dependent clause and one independent clause.

  • Although he garnered the most votes,

He received around 40% of the vote.

This is a DECLARATIVE SENTENCE.

Statements are declarative. It's punctuated.

When a period finishes a declarative sentence, these criteria are met.
