29.

The correct answer is (D). The speaker states that God is mild

and meek, synonyms for compassionate, and calls Himself a

lamb. The characterization of the lamb in literature is as a soft,

gentle animal. There is nothing in the poem that corresponds to

choice (A), exacting and merciful; choice (B), silent and inacces-

sible; choice (C), amiable and tolerant; or choice (E), protecting

and omniscient. In fact, the poem contradicts part of choice (A),

exacting, and all of choice (B), silent and inaccessible.
