Read the passage from "The Book of Martha.” She stood up and looked down at him. "Is it what I should do? Will it work? Please tell me."

"I truly don't know. I don't want to know. I want to watch it all unfold. I've used dreams before, you know, but not like this."

His pleasure was so obvious that she almost took the whole idea back. He seemed able to be amused by terrible things. "Let me think about this," she said. "Can I be by myself for a while?"

God nodded. "Speak aloud to me when you want to talk. I'll come to you.”

Which quote from the passage best illustrates the theme of trusting oneself?

A "’Is it what I should do?’”
B “’I don't want to know. I want to watch it all unfold.’”
C "’Let me think about this,’ she said. ’Can I be by myself for a while?’"
D "’Speak aloud to me when you want to talk. I'll come to you.’”

C "’Let me think about this,’ she said. ’Can I be by myself for a while?’"

Explanation:

The quote from the passage that best illustrates the theme of trusting oneself is "’Let me think about this,’ she said. ’Can I be by myself for a while?’"

The above statement shows that Martha wanted to have a deep rethink about the situation at hand and then know the decision to take.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

the answer is something i don't know

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
