Multiple-Choice Questions
Choose the correct answer for each question.
Questions 1–3 refer to the passage.
Oh unsurpassed generosity of God the Father, Oh wondrous and unsurpassable felicity
of man, to whom it is granted to have what he chooses, to be what he wills to be! The
brutes, from the moment of their birth, bring with them, as Lucilius [a classical Roman
author] says, “from their mother’s womb” all that they will ever possess. The highest
spiritual beings were, from the very moment of creation, or soon thereafter, fixed in the
mode of being which would be theirs through measureless eternities. But upon man,
at the moment of his creation, God bestowed seeds pregnant with all possibilities, the
germs of every form of life. Whichever of these a man shall cultivate, the same will
mature and bear fruit in him. If vegetative, he will become a plant; if sensual, he will
become brutish; if rational, he will reveal himself a heavenly being; if intellectual, he
will be an angel and the son of God. And if, dissatisfied with the lot of all creatures, he
should recollect himself into the center of his own unity, he will there become one spirit
with God, in the solitary darkness of the Father, Who is set above all things, himself
transcend all creatures. Who then will not look with awe upon this our chameleon, or
this sample.
who, at least, will look with greater admiration on any other being?
