Answer:

D She proudly declares her belief in God

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is correct because Martha simply replied to the faith curist's question about her salvation. Therefore, Martha simply replied that she is a professor of the faith.

Below is an excerpt from the text:

The faith curist rose to go. “Well, we can look to have her out in a few days. Remember, my good woman, much depends upon you. You must try to keep your mind in a state of belief. Are you saved?”

"Oh, yes, suh. I’m a puffessor"? Martha said.

Martha was simply declaring her belief in God.

"The Faith Cure Man" is a short story by black novelist and poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. The story centers on a poor mother whose daughter was sick and needed cure. The mother, Martha is willing to believe in whatever she sees that might cure her sick daughter.
