Which statement best describes the reason for God's
instructions to Martha in this passage?
Read the passage from "The Book of Martha."
"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.
O He does not trust people to change on their own.
O He wants to make sure Martha works hard to change
people.
