These and similar passages from Book XI employ the imagery of ____________________ for Augustine's
struggle to understand the world and the imagery of ____________________ for God's omniscience. -
darkness
light
Which central idea from Book XI best displays Augustine's Neoplatonic approach to understanding the
world? - Compared to God's knowledge, human knowledge "is ignorance."
There is a much deeper inconsistency in them as theorists in relation to the general theory called
Creative Evolution. They seem to imagine that they avoid the metaphysical doubt about mere change by
assuming (it is not very clear why) that the change will always be for the better. But the mathematical
difficulty of finding a corner in a curve is not altered by turning the chart upside down, and saying that a
downward curve is now an upward curve. The point is that there is no point in the curve; no place at
which we have a logical right to say that the curve has reached its climax, or revealed its origin, or come
to its end.
In this passage, Chesterton develops his point by ______. - creating an analogy
Both Dante, in the opening verses of Inferno, and Boccaccio, in his Introduction to the Decameron,
apologize for how they begin their works because each author _____. - is compelled to recount terrible
and frightening events
, In Canto V, when Dante the Pilgrim hears Francesca's story, he feels ______. - grief for her tragic life
Which detail from "Tenth Day: Tenth Story" in The Decameron best demonstrates Griselda's stoically
patient attitude? - She blames "the cruel assault of hostile fortune" rather than her husband for her
troubles.
Which of these pilgrims does the narrator describe most favorably? - the Franklin
At table she had been well taught withal,
And never from her lips let morsels fall,
Nor dipped her fingers deep in sauce, but ate
With so much care the food upon her plate
That never driblet fell upon her breast.
In courtesy she had delight and zest.
Her upper lip was always wiped so clean
That in her cup was no iota seen
Of grease, when she had drunk her draught of wine.
What can we infer is Chaucer's point in including this description of the Prioress? - To emphasize her lack
of religious priority.
In all the parish there was no goodwife
Should offering make before her, on my life;
And if one did, indeed, so wroth was she
It put her out of all her charity.
Her kerchiefs were of finest weave and ground;
I dare swear that they weighed a full ten pound
Which, of a Sunday, she wore on her head.
Her hose were of the choicest scarlet red,
Close gartered, and her shoes were soft and new.
