Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" — Unit test

Question 26 • AL-English Language Arts 11 Critical Standards

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.

Answer

I am glad to the brink of fear.

Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece.

The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.

In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child.

Explanation

The statement says that few adults can truly see nature. Choice C develops that idea by contrasting adults, for whom sunlight reaches only the eye, with children, who experience it more deeply—in both eye and heart. The other choices describe nature’s mood or the renewal a person feels in the woods, rather than this difference in how adults and children perceive nature.
