The line from the text that most strongly supports the response to the previous question is option a: "When Sodom lost Your favor, You caused the heavens to rain down fire and damnation. But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered... They pray before you!" This suggests that Elie believes human beings are stronger than God because they continue to pray despite the suffering and betrayal they experience.
