Answer:
In this excerpt, Edwards is attempting to convince readers that they <u>could miss an invaluable opportunity.</u>
Explanation:
Jonathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a fervent appeal to the congregation and the population as a whole to repent of their sinful ways and return to God. He also issues a stern warning for the suffering that awaits anyone who refused to come back to God and seek salvation and forgiveness.
In the given excerpt, Edwards preached about the <em>"extraordinary opportunity [with] the door of mercy wide open"</em>. This is the one chance that they have to repent and be saved, a chance to be <em>"feasting, [. . .] rejoicing and singing for joy of heart"</em> instead of <em>"pining and perishing [. . .] to mourn for sorrow of heart and howl for vexation of spirit."</em> This is an invaluable, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have eternal life rather than be da mned in hell eternally. This is <u>his attempt to convince them to repent and grab the invaluable opportunity presented to them by the grace of God.</u>
Thus, the <u>correct answer is the second option</u>.

Tan discusses achievement tests to support the idea that language cannot be separated from the personal meanings and experiences attached to it.
Explanation:
Upon hearing "sunset is to nightfall" Tan immediately creates a visual image of how she sees the sunset turning into nightfall - a burst of colors against a darkening sky, the moon rising, the lowering of a curtain of stars.
Answer: B. Progress should be sought only in manners that are acceptable to society.
All of these creation stories have as their main character an individual who wants to achieve progress and knowledge by going against the rules that have been established in their society.
In the case of Adam and Eve, Eve's trangression is eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden. Because of this, many of humanity's problems are born. In the myth of Prometheus and Pandora, both characters break the rules that had been imposed on them: Prometheus steals the fire from Zeus and Pandora opens the box that should not have been opened. Finally, in Frankenstein, it is Victor who breaks the rules. The rules he breaks are those of nature and science, as he attempts to create a living being. We realize the experiment was a bad idea when we see the suffering the creature feels and the destruction that it causes.
Therefore, all three stories support the idea of only seeking progress in a way that conforms to society's rules.
