Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions from 72 t o 76 :
He was a funny-looking man with a high, bald, dome-shaped head, a face very small in
comparison, a round upturned nose and a long wavy beard that didn't seem to belong to
such a perky face. His ugliness was a standing joke among his friends and he helped them
to enjoy the joke. He was a poor man and something of a n idler - a stone cutter by trade, a
sort of semi-skilled sculptor. But he didn't work any more than was necessary to keep his
wife and three sons alive. He preferred to talk. And since his wife was a complaining
woman who used her tongue as an irate driver uses a horsewhip, he laved above all things
to be away from home.
He would get up before dawn, eat a hasty breakfast of bread dipped in wine, slip on a
tunic and throw a coarse mantle over it and be off in search of a shop, or a temple or a
friend's house or the public baths, or perhaps just a familiar street comer, where he could
get into an argument. The whole city he lived in was seething with argumentation. The city
was Athens and the man we are talking about was Socratcs.
Not only was he funny-looking, but he had funny ways and notions, and a good-natured
magnetic stubbornness in sticking to them. One of his friends had asked the oracle at
Delphi who was the wisest man in Athens. To the astonishment of all, the priestess had
mentioned this idler, Socrates.
"The oracle," he said, "chose me as the wisest Athenian because I am the only one who
knows that he doesn't known anything."
This attitude of sly and slightly mischievous humbleness gave him a temfic advantage
in an argument. Prctcnding that he himself didn't know the answers, he would badge
people with questions, and lead them to make astounding admissions.
