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.
The correct answer is A. As a common man.
Andrew Jackson's election inaugurated the so-called Era of the Rise of the Common Man, which lasted up to the Civil War.
During his campaign, Jackson was portrayed as a common man to show that someone's lineage did not ensure a place in office, but it was hard work and the candidate appeal to the voters and to portray himself as one of them. To achieve the presidency, he reinforced his humble origins and his struggle and success in adult life, even downplaying some of his achievements to make him look one of the people.
