What was Aristotle’s concept of scale of nature that the Elizabethans later adopted and modified?
A. the belief that nothing on Earth is predetermined, and the world is constantly changing B.the belief that everything on Earth has a place in the natural order, which is determined by mankind
C. the belief that everything on Earth has a place in the natural order, which is determined by its creator
D. the belief that people should not stray from their place in the social order, which is determined by God

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. the belief that everything on Earth has a place in the natural order which is determined by its creator. He couldn't have made a theory about God being the creator since the single deity version of God came much later as Greece was polytheistic during his time. This belief was exploited by the Elizabethans to keep the poorer classes in what they believed was their place.
