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. Only twenty dollars, sir- a dollar a foot. Hark! -Dreadful!- Will you order? Will you buy? Shall I put your name? C) Think of a heap of charred wood and all in one flash!” D) “You pretend envoy extraordinary and an agent to and from Jupiter Tonans,” E) laughed I; “ you mere man who come here to put you and your Pilates 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 empowered you, you Tezsl, to peddle round your indulgence 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. False negotiator, away! G) See, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens I read the rainbow, and will not make war on man’s earth.”
