<span>G.K. Chesterton believes that Saint Thomas Aquinas viewed man as a whole rather than as a beast like the anthropologists. This is probably because he is more attuned with the moral within which says that man is a reflection of god.

Answer:
A - "in India . . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies"
B - "the first written record of sugar"
Explanation:
From the passage, the details that would best fit in a summary of the passage would be options A and B because they contain the necessary details to sum up the entire passage.
From the passage, it is told that sugar was first recorded in India as being used as an offering in religious ceremonies.
It is explained in the passage that the ancient Sumerians first traded with the people of Harappa and Mohenjo in sugar but unfortunately the writings from that period are still not being able to be read.
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence.
Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.
Therefore, your best answer is reflective.
Yeats states that he was not closely acquainted with the people in the Easter Rising. He acknowledges that he only exchanged pleasantries with them before the uprising. He also indicates that he has personal reasons for disliking one person. So he is writing about the cause for which they stood, which, by inference, is important.
The comparison of the rebels to "stone" suggests that Yeats may have viewed the rebels' attitude as inflexible or not adapted to the changing times. Yeats also acknowledges the possibility that their deaths may have been "needless" because the British might keep their promises.
However, his reference to the "sacrifice" (of all who had supported Irish independence) and the rebels' "excess of love" suggest that he views their cause in a positive light. Moreover, Yeats's repeated description of the kind of change that the uprising has brought about as "a terrible beauty" suggests that his sympathies lie with the rebels.
To summarize, Yeats places a certain distance between the rebels and himself, but he supports the rebels' cause.
