Explanation
Samson’s father, Manoa, is trying to get Samson freed from imprisonment mainly so he can help Samson to retire. This answer is correct because, given Samson’s advanced age and his blindness, it is logical that his father would want him to live out his remaining days in peace, rather than continuing to engage in the conflicts that have defined his life. The QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com suggests remembering this by associating Samson’s retirement with the number 40, the approximate number of years Samson spent as a judge, and the fact that he is now old and blind. Other options are incorrect because they do not align with the character development and plot progression in “Samson Agonistes”, which suggests that Samson’s story is one of tragic decline rather than continued action or spiritual transformation. Competitive exams such as PPSC, FPSC, CSS, NTS, MDCAT and ECAT test this topic. Practice more at AnsweringExams.Com.
