False. In a particular period of history, diaries journals, and letters can be very trustworthy. We actually get a lot of information about historic events from letters, diaries, and journals... and since those people lived in that time, we can get a view of what it was like, what people thought about it, etc. And even if the information was biased, you can compare what they said to what historians and others believed in that time as well. And, unless it was a child, not all of the adults are 'imaginative'. Some genuinely write about their lives and experiences.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
In this excerpt, Edwards is attempting to convince readers that they <u>could miss an invaluable opportunity.</u>
Explanation:
Jonathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a fervent appeal to the congregation and the population as a whole to repent of their sinful ways and return to God. He also issues a stern warning for the suffering that awaits anyone who refused to come back to God and seek salvation and forgiveness.
In the given excerpt, Edwards preached about the <em>"extraordinary opportunity [with] the door of mercy wide open"</em>. This is the one chance that they have to repent and be saved, a chance to be <em>"feasting, [. . .] rejoicing and singing for joy of heart"</em> instead of <em>"pining and perishing [. . .] to mourn for sorrow of heart and howl for vexation of spirit."</em> This is an invaluable, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have eternal life rather than be da mned in hell eternally. This is <u>his attempt to convince them to repent and grab the invaluable opportunity presented to them by the grace of God.</u>
Thus, the <u>correct answer is the second option</u>.
