Answer:

“point out the way” to “higher eminences of thought.”

inject “genius, mental vigour, and moral courage” into a conforming public.

Explanation:

These are the two reasons why John Stuart Mill believes that exceptional individuals can be valuable to a culture. Mill was a defendant of freedom of speech, as he believed this was the only way in which new ideas can arise and spread in a society. Moreover, Mill believed that individuals who were exceptional would spread these new ideas and therefore, inject society with mental strength, genius and moral courage, all of which would lead the society to a higher level of thought.

Answer:

Kabir is a poet who is really well-know by the theme of all his work, which refers to God in general words, he talks about the soul and spirituality without getting involved in any specific religion since he doubts about the veracity of all of them to portray what God means. Therefore the poem “Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale” is asking about the soul, peace, and faith of a place called heaven, where is it? and how can you get there? he is questioning the eternal questions that most people have had al least once about heaven and celestial paradise.

Read these lines from "Of Cannibals" and answer the question. . . . clever people observe more things and more curiously, but th
Fittoniya [83]

The  skepticism is characterized by an atittude of doubting, questioning and/or not believing something or someone.

As we can see in “Of Cannibals”, Montaigned used skepticism to justify his arguments on his opinion about clever people. For instance:

1) “They never show you things as they are” – The author also said that clever people “cannot help altering history a little”, and then he says that they never show things as they really are; meaning that since he believes that clever people tend to change facts and information, the consequence of it is that their speech isn’t 100% honest. Therefore, he is skeptical when it comes to the true nature of those facts.

2) (...) And to give credence to their judgement and attract you to it, they are prone to add something to the matter, to strecht it out or amplify it”  – Now the author claims that clever people try to convince others by adding details or facts to what actually happened. He believes that once the fact is amplified, it gets more attention and credit. In this case, he is being skeptical in regards to judgements and opinions, suggesting that clever people aren’t really honest in their judgements as they want others to “buy their ideas” and because of it they will tell things in a way that will persuade people to do what they want and believe what they say.

Excerpt from: The Lion and the Mouse
Ivan

This fable shows that the things and people considered unimportant might have a big impact on our lives. It is significant never to underestimate an underdog that one day he might prove his worth. We can observe this idea in the fable when the time comes and the mouse proves himself worthy. In matter of size, the story resembles <em>David and Goliath</em> where David defeats his opponent although he was smaller than him. The correct answer is D.
