Answer:

C) A person does not have to accomplish great things to serve God.

Explanation:

These are last lines from John Milton’s (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) one of the most famous short poems  "When I Consider How My Light is Spent" or alternatively known as “On His Blindness”.

In the context of these lines Milton compares God with a King and contrasts Him with a lord. In these lines Milton says that God has innumerable (thousands) working at his state moving speedily from place to place (Thousands at his bidding speed). These tasks need men to have light and vision. Since God has innumerable resources he does not need every one to do an active work. Sometimes God also appoints some people on standby and work when the right time comes.

In brief, Milton being previously very active in social and political matters of the country knows that working actively for God is a good deed. But those who are physically hampered (like Milton) also serve God in waiting for their turn to accomplish a task when it is assigned.

What does John Smith hope to achieve by writing the excerpt from
VikaD [51]

Answer:

I haven't ready that in a while, but I do remember that John Smith referred to himself in third person rather than first in order to make other people see him as a true hero instead of conceited, because in all reality he was actually quite full of himself. He also refers to the Native Americans with much mockery. So perhaps you could say that John Smith wanted to achieve a heroic status in society.
