Explanation:

Question 7

The Puritan concept of the "elect" is rooted in their religious belief of predestination, where God has pre - selected (elected) certain people for salvation. The first option is about political election, which is not related to the religious meaning of "elect" for Puritans. The third option is incorrect as Puritans emphasized church attendance and did not believe one could "elect" out of it based on worthiness. The second option correctly reflects the religious idea that they were chosen by God to be saved and represent their religion.

Puritans believed in predestination, where those not chosen (the "elect") by God were destined for eternal damnation. The first option is wrong because they didn't believe in a later chance to prove worth, as salvation was predestined. The third option is incorrect as they were not welcoming to those not chosen, and their belief was that non - chosen would go to Hell. The second option aligns with their belief in eternal damnation for the non - chosen.

Answer:

B. Were selected (hand picked) by God to be saved from damnation and act as ambassadors for their religion
