Explanation:

Stream of consciousness is a narrative style that aims at imitating natural thinking this implies a flow of ideas that might not have a clear connection, changing from one topic or idea to another without transition and emphasis on impressions by the narrator. Additionally, this mostly uses the first-person point of view.

This can be seen in option A as in this, ideas resemble natural though this includes changing from one idea to another as in "Kind of like this seat. I should move", the use of the first person in all the excerpt, the emphasis in impressions "and I don't want to get wet" and also the lack of clear connection between ideas as the character jumps from one thought to the other.

in paragraph 6 of "sinners in the hands of an angry god" by jonathan edwards, he talks about how doing good things alone will not save men from going to hell because they're at the mercy of the will of god. "spiritual reform" provides men with a false sense of safety.
