Can anyone me with numbers 3 and 4? 3. give some examples showing how a little learning can be dangerous (couplet 2). what is the difference between drinking “deep” and drinking superficially from the pierian spring on mt. olympus, greece, from which the muses drew their inspiration? 4. in the couplet on newton, explain the difference between what is suggested by the words “night” and “light”.

  number 3)

The expression of a little learning can be dangerous refers to the fact that when we have a little bit of information we may deduct incorrect concepts and even make incorrect decisions.

drinking deep and drinking superficially make reference of the same, being the Pierian spring on Mt. Olympus the one which clears peoples minds if you drink deep you'll get all the knowledge you can and you'll be more informed if you drink superficially is when you act in an incorrect way.

Number 4)

This one talks about all the secrets ins science and more specifically in nature that are undiscovered for mankind,and how God created SirNewton who had the ability to see all these secrets and to discover them for all to see

the correct answer is video games and fast food.

hope this (:

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
