"know now then thyself, presume not god to scan; /the proper study of mankind is man." which of these is nearest in meaning to the word presume, as it is used in the passage above? - hasten -invent -cease -attempt*

D-attempt

Explanation:

The interpretation is an attempt. This is the nearest best option of presuming. From the text, the pope attempts to encourage the audience of not sizing up with God with his dealings to human beings, providences, and his creatures. When making presumptions, we are making God in our image and that precisely the pope is trying to explain. Also, power says that when one knows himself or herself, they would not wish to test God or do something that is against his will.
