The passage states that a spider's web is not strong enough to stop a falling rock. Its home will be destroyed and the spider must rebuild his web again.

The correct answer is II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

Explanation: In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, the author uses a metaphor to explain how low God considers sinners to be, and that they are weak in the face of his wrath. Edwards compares spiders to sinners because of how weak and loathesome they are, and the spider's web represents the sinner's congregation. The rock falling through the web represents God's strength and gravity towards sinners.

Which person has the best qualifications to write a credible article about the
tangare [24]

Answer:

I think its B

Explanation:

since a professor has already written books on the production of food he should be well prepared for writing an article. People who already write have a better ability to grab a reader's attention.

the tv reporter has only visited a single fast food museum, so he wouldn't have much to write on.

the former worker is already mad at being fired (he would write negatively about the place) and only has knowledge about meat. (in my opinion)

the senator could be a good option but his field is law not writing.

hope this helps :-)

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

<em>The right answer is letter C - </em><em>that the speaker is able to see and feel her faith in eveything that surrounds her.</em>

<em>In this poem the poet explains why she stays at home during sabbath instead of going to church. She describes how the choir is replaced by a bobolink and a sexton, and that she doesn't need to go anywhere in particular as the "orchard"  outside can be likened to church "dome". </em><em>Emily feels her faith is not bound to any place but rather it can be found in everything around her.</em>
