answer:  (B) II. Spiders are powerless should a rockfall on them.

Explanation:  The passage from the story claims that a spider's web would not be strong enough to hold a falling rock. which means that in the process its home would be demolished and would have to resort to making the web all over again.

(A) Spiders are considered to be errors of God's creation - This can not be correct, because spiders exist with a purpose.

(B) Spiders are powerless should a rockfall on them. - This option makes the most sense because it is stating a fact.

(C) Spiders are considered the lowest form of life and thus expendable        

- This option does not prove any point or have any correlation towards nonbelievers being akin to spiders.

Answer:

II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

Explanation:

Edwards uses this comparison of non-believers to a spider to show that should God decide to send someone to hell, he or she does not have the power to stop it. Even if the non-believer felt assured and arrogant about it, he would still not have the ability to keep himself out of Hell. Option I is incorrect because Puritans, like Edwards, did not believe that any of God's creations were a mistake. Option III is also incorrect because the purpose is not to show the expendable nature of the spider, but rather the almighty power of God.

Read the lines below from Chapter 16 and answer the question.
AnnZ [28]

The correct answers are options B and D. In the Igbo clan in Africa, the efulufus were considered as worthless, empty men. They were the first converts among the outcasts attracted to Christianity.

In the Igbo tribes, there were some outcasts like twins, some of whom were killed at birht and also people with terrible diseases like leprosy  who were abandoned and casted out of the villages. They were mistreated and left aside.

In consequence, during the early Christianization of Igboland by the white Europeans, the new faith attracted the outcasts of the clans as they found that the new religion welcomed twins and people who were in the margins of community.

The efulufu were the first to embrace all the aspects of Western education and, ironically, became the ruling class of civil servants and administrators in colonial and postcolonial Eastern Nigeria. Not only efulufus left their own people's traditions and religion to join Europeans, but also fought on the side of the imperial power against their own Igbo people.
