IT appears you are doing some analysis based on a particular reading. I doubt if anyone here can help you much without that piece of reading. Have you considered rereading the piece looking for these facts?
1. To find the answer to the first question, you need to understand the context of the Great Fire. The Great Fire refers to the fire that occurred in London in 1666. One way to find the answer is by looking up historical accounts or reliable sources that document the event. Iconic events like the Great Fire tend to be well-documented, so you should be able to find information on its causes.
2. The second question asks about the irony surrounding Candide's "exercise of liberty." To understand the irony, you need to familiarize yourself with the context of Candide, which is a satirical novel written by Voltaire. Analyzing the events surrounding Candide's exercise of liberty within the story will help you identify the answer. Read the relevant passages or chapters to gain a deeper understanding of the irony.
3. The third question asks about the period that followed the Enlightenment, where progress based on scientific and technological advances became less positive. To answer this question, you need to understand the historical timeline and the key characteristics of different periods. Take note of the context surrounding the end of the Enlightenment and major historical events or cultural shifts that occurred afterward. By comparing the given options (dark ages, neoclassical period, romantic period, antiprogress period) with your knowledge of historical periods, you can eliminate the incorrect options and identify the correct answer.
Remember, these explanations are meant to guide you in finding the answers on your own and provide a better understanding of the process to reach those answers.
