Read the excerpt and answer the question. so that, thus it is that natural men are held in the hand of god, over the pit of hell; they have deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and god is dreadfully provoked, his anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of his wrath in hell, and they have done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger, neither is god in the least bound by any promise to hold them up one moment; the devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them, and swallow them up; the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out: and they have no interest in any mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. in short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of; all that preserves them every moment is the mere arbitrary will, and uncovenanted, unobliged forbearance of an incensed god. how does edwards's diction support his point of view? a) it creates vivid imagery of the love of god for his creations. b) it creates vivid imagery of the consequences for unbelievers. c) it creates vivid imagery of the life of those who believe in god. d) it creates vivid imagery of the life of those who are unbelievers.
