Question

read the stanza from \deliverance from another sore fit.\thou knowest the sorrows that i felt;
my plaints and groans were heard of thee,
and how in sweat i seemed to melt
thou helpst and thou regardest me.\what does the word regardest suggest about the speakers attitude toward god?
the speaker believes god will end all suffering.
the speaker considers god to be largely unknowable.
the speaker thinks of god as a closest friend.
the speaker feels watched attentively by god.

Explanation:

The archaic term "regardest" means to observe, pay close attention to, or watch attentively. In the stanza, the speaker states God heard their sorrows and now "regardest" them, which aligns with the idea of being attentively watched by God. Other options do not match the meaning of "regardest": the text does not mention ending all suffering, claim God is unknowable, or frame God as a close friend.

Answer:

The speaker feels watched attentively by God.
