Answer:
I would pick A. C is also possible.
Explanation:
It is much easier to start with what he does not mean.
E definitely is not what he means. He is not thinking of benefitting himself at all.
D is also not what he means. He does not intend to dwell on past mistakes: he is determined to learn what he did wrong and what he can do to improve.
C is possible. Let's just go on.
B there is no pretense in his fear. Those spirits have done their jobs well. Scrooge is scarred out of his wits that what they have shown him may actually come to pass. His worst nightmare is that he can do nothing about it.
A is possible. So now you have to choose between C and A.
It could be either A or C. I'd pick A myself because it is an action. It's a plan.
I usually tell people when it is this close that either could be right. Just because I say it is so, does not make it so. If you have strong feelings about C, pick it.
The three words that are made from the root totus are total, subtotal, and totality. I hope you find this answer the most helpful! :)

Edwards delivered his famous sermon during a revival movement intended to reinvigorate church attendance and bring more converts into the faith. He recognized that people were drifting away from church and relegating their faith to the background of their lives. The entire sermon is designed to shock listeners and instill a sense of urgency in their return to religion.
Edwards likely believed that Hell was an abstract notion to many of his listeners, and so he loaded the sermon with horrifying sense imagery to try to convince the congregation that Hell was a concrete place of eternal tortures.
