Parmenides rejects the reality of :

  • A.Motion
  • B.Multiplicity
  • C.Change
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

Parmenides rejects all of them: All of the above.

Parmenides argued that only Being is, and non-being is not and cannot even be thought. From this he concluded that Being is one, eternal, unchanging and motionless. Change would require something to come from or pass into non-being; motion would require empty space, which is non-being; and multiplicity would require something (non-being) to separate the many things.

So motion, multiplicity and change are all, for Parmenides, illusions of the senses, and choosing any one alone would leave out the other two.
