(A). No longer satisfied by the belief that the world around us was expressly designed for humanity, many people try to find intellectual reasons for the lost certainity in astrology and in mysticism.
(C). decibel : sound : : lumen : light
(D). People should not praised for the virtue if they lack the energy to be iniquitous; in such cases, goodness is merely the effect of impiety.

blueblood,

I think because decibel and lumen are measures of intensity (may be wrong word, I'm not a scientist! EDITED to right word after linisha's post) whereas gallon is a measure of volume.

Yes. You are right. Lumen is only the intensity of light, same as decibel. We say "so-many lumens" but not "so-many lumens of light."
