Question

Which statement best conveys how the author achieves his purpose in this excerpt

Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

In these lines, we can assume that the speaker is a Native American who is expressing his doubts about the Christian religion. He is successful in conveying his feelings because he asks questions that are difficult to answer, even by Christian missionaries. This highlights the weaknesses of Christianity, and allows the missionaries to understand his doubts about the doctrine they preach.
