Read the excerpt from  "sinners in the hands of an angry god."you will know certainly that you must wear out long ages, millions of millions of ages, in wrestling and conflicting with this almighty merciless vengeance; and then when you have so done, when so many ages have actually been spent by you in this manner, you will know that all is but a point to what remains. so that your punishment will indeed be infinite. oh who can express what the state of a soul in such circumstances is! edwards uses the phrase “oh who can express what the state of a soul in such circumstances is! ” in order toshow what might happen if the reader disobeys edwards. describe what endless suffering looks and feels like. illustrate that this type of suffering is unimaginable. prove that very few people have survived limitless suffering

edwards uses the phrase "o who can express what the state of a soul in such circumstances is! " in order to illustrate that this type of suffering is unimaginable. the word "express" denoted that the state of a suffering soul is required to be described by any person, but it would not happen because no one can imagine how this suffering is felt.  

-show what might happen if the reader disobeys edwards is not correct because this is described trhough the text, not by the phrase used.

-describe what endless suffering looks and feels like is not correct because this description might be the porpuse of the excerpt provided, not the porpuse of using the phrase during the writting.

-prove that few people have survived limitless suffering is not correct because it is implied that the soul of a person is already suffering and doesn't have any way to escape.

the answer would be c : illustrate that this type of suffering is unimaginable. just took the test

3 is blunder, i’m not sure about the last one but the first two look correct
