Question

"Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled: The Glory, jest, and riddle of the world!" these lines from Pope's An Essay on Man represent humankind as __?. . A. a sorrow B. an abomination. C. an enigma. D. a failure

Answer 1

The correct answer should be D. a failure

It's not sorrow because it's not about sadness or depression, and they're not really an abomination nor are they an enigma. They are a failure because they should rule everything yet they get destroyed by everything, and instead of being wise and knowing, they are always making errors and failing.
