According to the author, who can do the noblest and original works?

  • A.The men having posterity
  • B.The childless men
  • C.The men who feel their labours are sweetened
  • D.The men who have less cares of life

Answer: B

The childless men are said to do the noblest and original works. The author says that a man shall see the noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, who have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.

Men who have posterity are the opposite group in this comparison. The passage never links noble works to men whose labours are sweetened, and it does not say that fewer cares of life lead to better works. The author's reason is that the childless put their care of posterity into works of the mind, so the childless men are the answer.
