The excerpt seems to be reflecting the viewpoint put forward in option a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes. For example, the line referring to the 'undistinguish'd seeds of good and ill' seems to insinuate that human beings are not able to work out which seeds will grow to be good or bad.

Answer: The right answer is the a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this excerpt does not specifically refer to God, but to Heaven. In addition, it does not talk about the difficulty that humans experience to make friends with foes or to think well of them. Heaven is seen here as an omnipotent and powerful force that does not help humans discern the result of a good or an evil action, and, consequently, often confounds them, letting them believe that friends are foes and vice versa. The right answer is, therefore, the A. Humans often act without fully evaluating the consequences of their actions, since they do not have all the information at hand to do so.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Despite his passionate argument that rock lyrics are poetry, Dan DeLuca fails to convince.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • When Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, it sparked a major controversy.
  • Dan DeLuca has written an editorial stating his opinion that rock lyrics are poetry.
  • I really enjoyed reading Dan DeLuca's article about Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize.
  • Despite his passionate argument that rock lyrics are poetry, Dan DeLuca fails to convince.

A thesis statement is the main claim that an author makes in a text. This claim expresses the ideas that the author wants to defend, and which he expands on in the rest of the text. Therefore, a thesis statement needs to express a clear opinion, or take a particular position on a subject. In this case, the option that does this is option D.
