Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

- Aquinas's fifth proof of the existence of God is the argument from design, which states that the universe is orderly and apparently purposeful, that this did not happen by accident, and therefore it must be the product of an intelligent Creator (God).
- Paley used the analogy of a watch to show that the universe is too orderly and purposeful to have happened by accident; the watch must have a maker.
