Hurry!! ASAP!!!!!

Read this passage from the excerpt of St. Thomas Aquinas and answer the question. There is a much deeper inconsistency in them as theorists in relation to the general theory called Creative Evolution. They seem to imagine that they avoid the metaphysical doubt about mere change by assuming (it is not very clear why) that the change will always be for the better. But the mathematical difficulty of finding a corner in a curve is not altered by turning the chart upside down, and saying that a downward curve is now an upward curve. The point is that there is no point in the curve; no place at which we have a logical right to say that the curve has reached its climax, or revealed its origin, or come to its end. In this passage, Chesterton develops his point by ______. creating an analogy offering worldly examples appealing to Aquinas's writings explaining Aquinas's disappointment

The answer is: creating an analogy.

An analogy is a comparison between two things, based on their structure and for explanatory or clarification purposes.

In the excerpt of St. Thomas Aquinas, the author Chesterton provides a contrast between finding a corner in a curve, and concludes that there is no such thing. As a result, even if the curve is placed upside down and it looks upwards instead of downwards, there is no peak point in the curve.
