question 8 of 10
which of the following was an outcome of the enlightenment?
a. concern about society being controlled by natural forces
b. belief in one all - knowing god
c. the development of a written language
d. the study of behavioral patterns in society

Explanation:

The Enlightenment emphasized reason and the study of human behavior and society. Option A is incorrect as the Enlightenment focused on human reason rather than natural forces controlling society. Option B is related to religious beliefs which the Enlightenment often questioned or sought to rationalize rather than just a simple belief in one all - knowing God in the traditional sense. Option C, the development of written language, predates the Enlightenment. Option D, the study of behavioral patterns in society, aligns with Enlightenment thinkers' interest in understanding human nature and society through reason.

Answer:

D. The study of behavioral patterns in society
