Question

Which of the following quotes from The First Men in the Moon Infers a theme of discovery?

"understood the Grand Lunar to ask why had I come to the moon seeing we had scarcely touched our own planet yet."

"And so, for a space, though something loath, I told him the story of earthly War." O

"explained that such autocrats and emperors as we had tried upon earth had usually ended in drink, or vice, or violence."

"From that I went on to tell him that mankind had dwelt in cities only for nine or ten thousand years, and that we were still not united in one brotherhood,"

Do not scan for points.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a wonderful question. Usually these things have 4 poor choices and you have to pick the best of the bad.

Not this questions. Except for A, they all answer the question. C and D both speak of our failure at trying to live together. They both speak negatively of our attempt.

B is in the same vein. We failed because our method of resolution was war.

I think the best answer is likely A. Why go to the moon when we had barely found out what was on our own planet. The sentence is about exploration.
