Answer:

B). An expression of disapproval or condemnation.

Explanation:

The 'word-choice' always play a vital role in conveying the intended meaning, message, or idea that the author wishes to convey.

In the given sentence, the best definition of the underlined word 'censure' would be 'an expression of disapproval or condemnation' as per the context of the statement. The word <u>'censure' implies 'reflecting strong and formal disapproval or a severe public criticism'</u> <u>that best fits and accomplishes the context of the sentence.</u> Therefore, the sentence would imply that 'it's in the fate of those toiling employees who are driven more by the fear of evil instead of being fascinated towards the 'prospect of good' and exposure to 'having the ability to express their strong/severe disapproval or disagreement to this toiling labor'(censure)'. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:

“ Jonah getting swallowed by a fish is really a story of Jonah being rescued by God. God did not give up on this self-serving prophet who wanted to do things his own way. If God wanted to give up on Jonah, he would have let him drown. He did not need Jonah to accomplish his purposes. God has every resource at his disposal. He could have easily used someone else to go to Nineveh, someone much more faithful, whose heart had some compassion and mercy toward others. He rescued Jonah not because he needed Jonah, but because Jonah needed him. You see, this really wasn’t about the Ninevites so much as it was about Jonah. Jonah was in need of God’s rescue – not just from drowning, but from the hardness of his own heart. God has every resource at his disposal. “
