Read the passage from "The Book of Martha." Which statement best describes the reason for God's
instructions to Martha in this passage?
"Don't worry," God said. "I won't be sending you back
home with another message that people can ignore or
twist to suit themselves. It's too late for that kind of
thing anyway." God shifted on his throne and looked at
her with his head cocked to one side. "You'll borrow
some of my power," he said. "You'll arrange it so that
people treat one another better and treat their
environment more sensibly. You'll give them a better
chance to survive than they've given themselves. I'll
lend you the power, and you'll do this." He paused, but
this time she could think of nothing to say.
O He believes that people just need more time to
change
O He thinks that Martha deserves to have his power.
He does not trust people to change on their own.
O He wants to make sure Martha works hard to
change people
