To err is ...... to forgive divine.

  • A.Beastly
  • B.Human
  • C.Inhuman
  • D.Natural

Answer: B

Correct answer: Human

The maxim is Pope's: to err is human, to forgive divine. The pairing of human with divine is what gives the line its point.

Natural is close in sense but breaks the contrast, and beastly and inhuman reverse it.
