I see this question is incomplete (missing the answer choices). It probably refers to the following full question:

Which quotation from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" uses a rhetorical device to show people have a fragile hold on life:

A. Yea, God is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are now on earth; yea, doubtless with many that are now in this congregation . . . Than he is with many of those that are now in the flames of hell.

B. [T]he it is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the flames do now rage and glow.

C. Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this covering so weak that they won't bear their weight, and these places are not seen.

D. God is dreadfully provoked, his anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of his wrath in hell.

The quotation that contains a rhetorical device to show that people have a fragile hold on life is:

C. Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this covering so weak that they won't bear their weight, and these places are not seen.

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a sermon by American philosopher and theologian Jonathan Edwards (born in 1703). As we can see in the quotes above, the sermon intends to scare people into repenting for their sins and redeeming themselves. Edwards paints quite a vivid picture of God being angry and ready to punish those who do not obey his laws.

All options seem to contain rhetorical devices, but letter C is the one that addresses people's fragile hold on life through the use of a metaphor. He compares our lives to this "rotten covering" over the pit of hell. The covering is weak, which means it can crumble at any moment. In other words, our life is fragile, we can die any time soon without having obtained redemption.

In conclusion, letter C is the option that speaks of the fragility of life through the use of a rhetorical device.
