Explanation:

Edward here claims that Non-believers of God are analogous to spiders to affirm the power supreme authority i.e. The Almighty God. He argues that if one is engrossed in his/her own prudence and audacious enough to believe themselves to be above the world, then no one can defend them from bearing the consequences and sent to hell similar to the spider's inability to stop a rock. The author implies that the power of Almighty should never be overlooked at any cost. The other two options display the spider as errors and expendable which doesn't portray the idea of the author i.e. to establish the power of divine authority and hence, incorrect.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
