O fair foundation laid whereon to buildThir ruine! Hence I will excite thir mindsWith more desire to know, and to rejectEnvious commands, invented with designeTo keep them low whom knowledge might exaltEqual with Gods; aspiring to be such,Explanation:This is the excerpt that shows Satan's plan to destroy Adam and Eve. In this passage, Satan tells us that he has designed a plan to ensure the downfall of man. He tells us that he will excite the minds of humans with a desire to know more. This will lead them to aspire to be equal to God, and in the process, disobey God's commands.

I think the answer would be C although i can't read old english, but from what i know, in choice C, you can see what satan is planning. from the story, i know that satan convinced adam and eve that the fruit will make them like God. as shown in choice C, satan shows that he will make adam and eve envy and excite their minds to eat the fruit and be equal like God such as the story i know states.its a bit confusing my explanation but i hope it helps! ?

The third one where Satan explains that he will make them desire the fruit that God had said was forbidden in the Bible in Genesis.

This is the excerpt from Milton’s Paradise Lost shows Satan's plan to destroy Adam and Eve.Sight hateful, sight tormenting! thus these two Imparadis't in one anothers arms The happier Eden, shall enjoy their fill Of bliss on bliss, while I to Hell am thrust, Where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire, Among our other torments not the least, Still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;
