man proposes but God disposes simple compound or complex
Answers
Explanation:
The Pickwick Papers is a sequence of loosely related adventures written for serialization in a periodical. The action is given as occurring 1827–28, though critics have noted some seeming anachronisms.[4] For example, Dickens satirized the case of George Norton suing Lord Melbourne in 1836.[5]
The novel's main character Samuel Pickwick, Esquire is a kind and wealthy old gentleman, the founder and perpetual president of the Pickwick Club. He suggests that he and three other "Pickwickians" should make journeys to places remote from London and report on their findings to the other members of the club. Their travels throughout the English countryside by coach provide the chief subject matter of the novel.
Answer: Option B: The two clauses viz (i) "Man proposes" and (ii) "God disposes", can stand independently and make good sense. They are independent clauses connected using the co-ordinating conjunction-"but". Hence, this is a compound sentence and this answer is correct.
This Proverb statement tells that whatever man proposes as his objective to achieve by exercising his will power, efforts and intellectual potentialities, there is a limit to his abilities and there is some supernatural power – God - to determine the shape of things and its end. Sometimes or most of the times the end may be against man's proposal.
People very often use this statement during their conversation. Man can place before himself a lofty objective and can strive hard to achieve it by putting forth all his efforts and other possibilities. But there is a limit to man’s abilities. It has been well said. There is a supernatural power that determines the shape of things and that power. God shapes the end of our objective too. Man can only propose to achieve something and toil himself towards the achievement. Even the achievement itself is not in his hands. Of course the ancient Greek critic - Heraclites - says, "Man is the architect of his destiny".
Shakespeare, in his tragedy plays too, does not bring in fate or God as a power determining the shape of things. He introduces the clement of chances that turns the course of the play. Anyhow, there is some power which shapes the end and so it is very apt to say - Man proposes God disposes.
