To check which sentence is wrong, you can analyze each sentence in the given options individually. Look for any grammatical or contextual errors that may make a sentence incorrect.
For the first set of options:
a. Christian divinity students study Hebrew....
This sentence seems to be grammatically correct and makes sense in the context of studying divinity.
b. Dagon, the chief divinity of the Philistines, was represented as a half human half fish.
This sentence is also grammatically correct and provides information about the divinity of the Philistines.
c. Muslims do not regard Muhammad as a divinity but as a mortal..
This sentence is grammatically correct and explains the viewpoint of Muslims regarding Muhammad.
d. Through skillful divinity ancient Myan astronomers were able to predict eclipses....
Upon analysis, you will notice that there is an error in this sentence. The word "divinity" seems to be used incorrectly here, as it does not make logical sense in the context of ancient Mayan astronomers predicting eclipses. The correct word may be "divination," which is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means.
Therefore, your answer in this case is correct, and sentence d is the incorrect sentence.
For the second set of options:
a. The Romans practiced divination by studying the flight of birds.....
This sentence appears to be grammatically correct and provides information about the divination practices of the Romans.
b. The Toltec divination Quetzalcoatl is represented as a plumed serpent...
This sentence seems grammatically correct and provides information about the representation of the Toltec divination Quetzalcoatl.
c. I divine from her manner that she has something to hide...
This sentence is grammatically correct and uses the word "divine" in the sense of inferring or deducing information from someone's behavior or mannerisms.
d. In the bible Joseph divines the meaning of the Pharaoh's dream...
This sentence appears to be grammatically correct and mentions the act of divine interpretation by Joseph in the Bible.
Upon analysis, you will notice that there is no incorrect sentence in this set of options. Therefore, your answer in this case is incorrect, and there is no wrong sentence among the given options.
