the question that follows.
"Deliverance from a Fit of Fainting"
by Anne Bradstreet

Worthy art Thou, O Lord, of praise,
But ah! It's not in me.
My sinking heart I pray Thee raise
So shall I give it Thee.
My life as spider's webb's cut off,
Thus fainting have I said,
And living man no more shall see
But be in silence laid.

My feeble spirit Thou didst revive,
My doubting Thou didst chide,
And though as dead mad'st me alive,
I here a while might 'bide.

Why should I live but to Thy praise?
My life is hid with Thee.
O Lord, no longer be my days
Than I may fruitful be.

Anne Bradstreet (1612–1672)

A. to cure her sickness so that she can live longer

The correct option is B.
In the first stanza, the author prayed like this: 'My sinking heart I pray thee raise, so shall give it thee. What the author was praying for in essence is that God should raise her sinking heart, so that she can praise Him. That is, she was asking God to lift her spirit so that she can give him praise.

Part A Which statement best states a central idea of this text? Good people volunteer and spend most of their time helping other
Natali5045456 [20]

Part A: The statement that best states a central idea of this text is the second option: "When helping others, it is important to act; words alone are not enough."

The first option  ("Good people volunteer...") is incorrect because the text makes no generalizations about good people at all; the third option ("In times of crisis...") is incorrect because the interaction between older and younger people in the text is not relevant; the fourth option ("Most people...") is incorrect because the person who needs help in the text is not a stranger, but a friend.

Part B: The essential detail from the text that helps to shape the central idea in Part A is the fact that, despite receiving over fifty messages in social networks offering support (words), Martin and his father were actually only visited by Jerome that day (actions).
