Read the excerpt from "Make Gentle the Life of This World."My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He once wrote: "Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
Answer
A
by suggesting that the Greeks also struggled with societal violence
B
by suggesting that God has the power to heal the United States
C
by suggesting that people may feel better after a good night's sleep
D
by suggesting that even tragic events can lead to wisdom if we allow it
Explanation
The quotation describes pain continuing even in sleep and eventually bringing wisdom, though that wisdom comes “against our will.” This supports the idea that even tragic events can lead to wisdom, as choice D states. The passage does not say that sleep itself makes people feel better or that God will heal the United States.
