In which of the following ways does source 1 differ from source 2 in terms of a ruler's legitimacy?

A. Mencius implies that the ruler needs to earn the legitimacy of his power, while Bossuet states that God anoints the ruler (maybe)

B. Bossuet states that God will withdraw legitimacy from a king who does not please his people while Mencius claims that a ruler cannot be challenged

C. Mencius states that God paves the way for a new ruler so the ruler can claim legitimacy, while Bossuet claims that there is a period of trials

D. Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind a rulers legitimacy, while Mencius states that legitimacy comes from heaven

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I think the other answer is wrong. With Option B, Mencius never claims that a ruler cannot be challenged. With C, Mencius doesn't even mention God! With D, this is tricky. While Mencius does imply that Heaven is where the legitimacy arises, he also says that Heaven challenges candidates for the title of ruler. So, it's a close run between D and A, but in the end, A closes out because it's more specific. Also, the clearer reason that D is wrong is that it says that Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind the legitimacy of a ruler, but secular means non-religious, and all Bossuet talks about is religion, so that one is kind of stupid. The passages are pasted below for reference.

Refer to the two passages.

Source 1

"Shun rose [to the empire] from among the channeled fields. Foo Yueh was called to office from the midst of his [building] frames and [earth-] beaters; Kaou Kih from his fish and salt; Kwan E-woo from the hands of the officer in charge of him; Sun Shuh-gaou from [his hiding by] the sea-shore; and Pih-le He from the market-place.

Thus, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any one, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil; it exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty; and it confounds his undertakings. In all these ways it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and supplies his incompetencies.

Men constantly err, but are afterwards able to reform. They are distressed in mind, and perplexed in thought, and then they arise to vigorous endeavour. When things have been evidenced in men’s looks, and set forth in their words, then they understand them.

If a ruler have not about his court families attached to the laws and able officers, and if abroad there are no hostile States or other external calamities, the State will generally come to ruin.”

Mencius, fourth century BCE

Source 2

"It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that it is a sacrilege to attack him. God has His prophets anoint them with a sacred unction, as He has His pontiffs and His altars anointed. But, even without the external application of this unction, their charge renders them sacred, as being the representatives of the divine majesty, delegated by His providence to the execution of His designs. It is thus that God Himself speaks of Cyrus as His anointed—‘his right hand I have holden to subdue nations before him.’ The title of Christ is given to kings; and everywhere we see them called the Christ, or the anointed of the Lord.”

Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, explaining the divine right of kings, 1678

• Size of the storm: How tall was the wall of dust that traveled
across the plains?

Answers

Answer:

The Dust Bowl was the name given to the drought-stricken Southern Plains region of the United States, which suffered severe dust storms during a dry period in the 1930s. As high winds and choking dust swept the region from Texas to Nebraska, people and livestock were killed and crops failed across the entire region. The Dust Bowl intensified the crushing economic impacts of the Great Depression and drove many farming families on a desperate migration in search of work and better living conditions.

While “black blizzards” constantly menaced Plains states in the 1930s, a massive dust storm 2 miles high traveled 2,000 miles before hitting the East Coast on May 11, 1934.

The area is named for German neurologist and psychiatrist Carl Wernicke, who proposed a connection between the left posterior region of the superior temporal gyrus and the reflexive mimicking of words and their syllables in 1874, linking the sensory and motor images of spoken words. Wernicke's area is located in the left posterior region of the brain.

The brain region known as Wernicke's area is thought to be important in language understanding. Wernicke's area is generally found in the left cerebral hemisphere, more specifically, close to the back of the temporal lobe.
