The literary movement or sub-genre that matches with the literature - The sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is Early American and Colonial Literature. The right answer is Option A.
Explanation:
Sermons were written in plain style rather than ornate d religious poetry. They focused on daily life, moral attitudes and political unrest. The literature was instructive as it reinforced the authority of the Bible and the Church in it. Fate was determined by God and all people are sinful and must be saved by the Christ - were the themes of this literary period. Puritanism started as an insult of traditional Anglicans to those who wished to "purify" the Church of England. Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" had been written during this phase.
The motive of delivering this sermon is to warn the congregation particularly and presumably, the nation as a whole that they must repent of their sinful ways. They must turn to God for forgiveness to escape death by hellfire before it's too late. Edwards is saying that this is the opportunity to embrace and accept Jesus Christ, his teachings and his sacrifice as reparation for sins. The choice must be made by those people who God is calling, through Jesus Christ, to accept the call to repentance and a new life or reject it.
The most important rule of survival Brian learned in Chapter 8 was that "feeling sorry for yourself didn't work..It wasn't just that it was wrong to do, or that it was considered incorrect. It was more than that - it didn't work".
