Question

question 2 of 10 which scenario would most likely result in a disturbance in the great chain of being? a. a river flows over a rock, causing it to slowly wear away. b. a demon tempts a human soul, but the human doesnt give in. c. a child disobeys his or her parents wishes and marries a person of lower social status. d. a parent forces his or her child to attend college instead of becoming a farmer.

Explanation:

The Great Chain of Being was a hierarchical structure of the universe in medieval and Renaissance thought, encompassing everything from God to inanimate objects. Social - status and family - based hierarchies were part of it. A child marrying someone of lower social status against parental wishes disrupts the social and familial hierarchy which is part of the Great Chain of Being concept. Option A is a natural process, option B is a moral - religious scenario not directly related to the social hierarchy aspect of the Great Chain of Being, and option D is more of a modern - day parental decision not related to the traditional Great Chain of Being hierarchy.

Answer:

C. A child disobeys his or her parents' wishes and marries a person of lower social status.
