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.

In "There Will Come Soft Rains," why does the author turn the house into a mechanical creature?
Radda [10]

I already answered the question but here it is again:

The correct answer is B. to keep readers from realizing at the start that no humans are present.

Indeed, Bradbury’s story is intended to warn readers that the inevitable consequence of an all-out nuclear war is the extinction of the human race. His story is inspired by the much earlier poem from American poetess Sarah Teasdale, who wrote the poem of the same title in the aftermath of World War I, which until then had been the most devastating conflict in the history of the world at that time. Since the house is a mechanical entity; it stresses the fact that it was built by humans but since no humans are present anymore, their absence is all the more noticed and the, dramatic impact for readers is stronger and everlasting.
