A) Plato's dialogues are primarily focused on the philosophy of Socrates and he is often the main character. Therefore, Plato is the main source of information we have about Socrates.
B) Plato's metaphysical dualism divides the world into two realms: the world of forms, which is eternal and unchanging, and the world of appearances, which is constantly changing. One of the views of the body in the world of appearances is that it is material and mortal, while in the world of forms, the body is perfect and eternal.
C) Plato believed that the body is subject to illusion, error, and decay, so it cannot provide accurate and valid information on its own.
D) Plato's dualism is concerned with the nature of reality and knowledge. He believed that knowledge is not acquired through sensory experience but rather through reason and the mind's ability to grasp the eternal and unchanging world of forms.
