The correct answer is option C)promise the certainty of her salvation.
Explanation:
The Verses Upon the Burning of our House poem was written by Anne Bradstreet. In this poem she relates how one night her house began to catch fire until it was completely burned to the ground.
She is a person of great faith and does not care about the material, since she knows that all material is not something that she has, but rather is from God.
All she wants is the salvation of God, and a home in paradise.
We can see how she asks God to promise the certainty of her salvation in the following lines:
And to my God my heart did cry
To straighten me in my Distress
And not to leave me succourless
