Упр.2a Уроки 5-6 Юнит 7 New Millennium English 11 класс
Задача
- 2 A. Read and listen to this extract from Paradise Lost (1667) by John Milton and choose the sentence which best conveys the main idea.
- Because they could not hear what the others were saying, the builders did not build the building according to the plan and it looked a ridiculous mess.
- Instead of understanding each other, as a result of an act of God, all the builders spoke to each other using strange words, so that what they built did not conform to any plan.
- God appeared to the builders and they were all scared, so that they became speechless and could not work properly.
God … comes down to see the city, … and in derision sets
Upon their tongues a various spirit, to raze
Quite out their native language, and instead
To sow a jangling noise of words unknown.
Forthwith a hideous gabble rises loud
Among the builders; each to other calls
Not understood … Thus was the building left
Ridiculous, and the work Confusion named.
Подробный ответ
Correct answer: 2
The main idea is that God confused the builders by making them speak different languages, so they could not understand one another and the building was left unfinished.
