Question

Which of the following statements most accurately describes the character in this passage? Passage from The Grapes of Wrath “Nobody’s seen me,” said the preacher. “I went off alone an’ I sat and figured. The spirit’s strong in me, only it ain’t the same. I ain’t so sure of a lot of things. Here I got the spirit sometimes an’ nothing to preach about. I got the call to lead people, an’ no place to lead them.” A. The preacher has no church. B. The preacher is unemployed. C. The preacher is confused. D. The preacher has memory problems.

Answer 1

I think the answer is A, since he says "'an no place to lead them"

Answer 2

C. The preacher is confused.

Step-by-step explanation:

In these lines, we can see that the preacher is confused about his faith and his motivations. He tells us that, although he continues to hold the same beliefs he has always held, the "spirit" of them is less strong. He tells us that he is unsure about a lot of things and that because of this, sometimes he preaches without really knowing what he is preaching about. This makes him feel unprepared to guide the people.
