Question

5 select all the correct words in the passage. which two words or phrases in this excerpt from kurt vonnegut’s “report on the barnhouse effect” portray professor barnhouse as an exceptional person? there is an understandable tendency to look upon professor barnhouse as a supernatural visitation. the first church of barnhouse in los angeles has a congregation numbering in the thousands. he is godlike in neither appearance nor intellect. the man who disarms the world is single, shorter than the average american male, stout and averse to exercise. his iq is 143, which is good but certainly not sensational. he is quite mortal, about to celebrate his fortieth birthday, and in good health

Explanation:

To determine the words/phrases portraying Professor Barnhouse as exceptional, we analyze each option:

• "a supernatural visitation": Implies he is seen as otherworldly/exceptional, beyond normal human.
• "godlike": Suggests he has qualities associated with a god, making him exceptional.
• Other details (shorter, stout, IQ 143, mortal) describe normal or non - exceptional traits. So the two are "a supernatural visitation" and "godlike".

Answer:

a supernatural visitation, godlike
