I am pretty sure that in brooks' novel, the rector presents the plague as <span>a chance to save the souls of nonbelievers. I consider the third option as the correct one as author represented as if it will refine the villape people's souls. Hope you will find it helpful! Regards.</span>
The answer that would best complete the given statement above would be option B. In Brook's novel, the rector presents the plague as a God-given opportunity to shine in the face of fear. <span>He presents the plague as an ordeal or trial. Hope this answers this question.</span>
