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.

Past present and future essay
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Now that we have explored my past, present, and future experiences with diversity, it is time to see how they are present within and effect each other. Firstly, let’s look into how my future is present in my past. The most obvious portion of my future that is in my past is my willingness and efforts to love and include everyone and to spread this world view. It took a fellow classmate of mine to demonstrate to my third grade self that we are all human beings and we all deserve to be treated as such. In my future, I aspire to demonstrate this world view to my students and inspire them to treat each other accordingly. This aspiration directly reflects my world view struggles I went through in third grade, for I want to help my students come to…show more content…

In my present life, I am struggling with my conflicting experiences of serving and running club basketball. This is similar to my struggle with diversity in my past. In both situation we find the portion of my being that wishes to fit in at war with my true thoughts and beliefs. I know that in the end my true self will win, I just hope it doesn’t undergo any changes in the meantime. My present confliction between my views and the views of those around me exists in my past, as well.

The kind of man Creon is respectful but not afraid to make mistakes. What this reveals about his character is that he knows all men make mistakes but he knows that we all learn from our mistakes. He is telling men/people to do what they want but will eventually learn what is right. He is also saying that wise men will likely pick the right choice first but make mistakes that they will learn from also.
