In the adapted excerpt from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man," which two statements best support an objective summary of the excerpt? A. Hark! There go all the granite Taconics and Hoosics dashed together like pebbles. By the sound, that must have struck something.
B. An elevation of five feet above the house, will protect twenty feet radius all about the rod.
C. ...Think of a heap of charred wood and all in one flash!"
D. "You pretended envoy extraordinary and an agent to and from Jupiter Tonans,"
E. laughed I; "you mere man who come here to put you and your pipestem between clay and sky, do you think that because you can strike a bit of green light from the Leyden jar, that you can thoroughly avert the supernal bolt? Your rod rusts, or breaks, and where are you?
F. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations? The hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives. In thunder as in sunshine, I stand at ease.
G. See, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens I read in the rainbow, and will not make war on man's earth."
