What is the purpose of the sentence "Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediat

ely sought to convict them for being 'disturbers of the peace' and 'outside agitators' " in the following paragraph? There was a time when the Church was very powerful ... In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators." Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church's silent and often vocal sanction (approved action) of things as they are. choices
A. to communicate the claim of the paragraph

B. to transition to a new but related idea

C. to provide an example to support his point

D. to summarize the main idea of the paragraph

cluponka [151]
Ophelia's statements and songs definitely show that she is mourning her father "he is dead and gone lady", but they also show that her rejection by Hamlet has been troubling her. Many of the songs she sings include lyrics about how untrustworthy young men can be.
This passage, especially, shows that she is thinking about Hamlet:
"Young men will do't...they are to blame.
Quoth she, before you tumbled me,
You promised me to wed.
So would I ha' done, by yonder sun,
<span>An thou hadst not come to my bed."
</span>This song refers to a young man who made a promise to a woman, and then broke it. This mirrors her relationship with Hamlet because he gave her letters, tokens, and promises, told her he loved her, and then threw all of that back in her face and said she was a fool for believing him.
