Es
which statement from the passage best summarizes Chesterton's claim regarding the REAL reason for the fearfulness with
which the human skeleton is typically viewed by people?
One ground exists for this terror: a strange idea has infected humanity that
the skeleton is typical of death.
The importance of the human skeleton is very great, and the horror with
which it is commonly regarded is somewhat mysterious.
It is man's eccentric glory that he has not, generally speaking, any
objection to being dead, but has a very serious objection to being
undignified.
He sees a whole universe which is ridiculous, from the animalcule, with a
head too big for its body, up to the comet, with a tail too big for its head.
