Correct answer pls :)

Answer 1

The answer is C. a person's ability to avoid d*mnation.
A contrast of a person to a spider shows God could hold a person over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider. The writer adopted the spider as his way to say that we’re no different than spiders in the eyes of God. We could be crushed or crumbled to our downfall in a matter of seconds.
