The given line above is actually made by Francis Pharcellus Church which is taken from "<span>Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus". And based on this line, I can say that the emotion that the author appeals here is awe and wonder in the unknown. The best answer to this would be option B. Hope this helps.</span>
1. <span>the search for religious truth - <u>Christian</u>: the quest of a true Christian is to find God, and thus love and truth
2. </span><span>resistance and the inability to adapt to change - <u>Obstinate</u>: obstinate means stubborn, so this is an obvious answer
3. </span><span>humanity’s weak will and lack of resolution - <u>Pliable</u>: pliable means weak, easy to bend to somebody else's will
4. </span><span>God’s ability to guide humans by sending messengers - <u>Evangelist</u>: evangelists are messengers, so this is again an obvious choice</span>
