Упр.2a Уроки 5-6 Юнит 7 New Millennium English 11 класс

Задача
  1. 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.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
