OE


We can teach logic, but values such as the love or reason and virtue must be instilled. Clearly Socrates did not ingurgitate (A) or gulp his students, or importune (B), meaning inconvenience, them with a love of reasoning and virtue. The love of reasoning and virtue is an abstract quality and something we attempt to inculcate (C) in students, making C the correct answer. Those who have authority are not portents (D), as portents are omens or premonitions. They can, however, be referred to as potentates (E) or autocratic rulers. They would not be profligates (F), or recklessly wasteful individuals. Option E is the correct answer. Socrates cannot be considered a centurion (G) or leader of a unit of 100 soldiers, but Athenian potents may well have perceived him as an iconoclast (H). Iconoclasts attack or otherwise undermine cherished ideas and institutions including social structures and authorities of the day. Neophyte (I) must be eliminated as neophyte means novice and implies inchoate knowledge and skills; this certainly would not describe a teacher charged with educating the patrician Athenian youth. H is the correct answer.
