In black distress, I called my God, When I could scarce believe him mine,
He bowed his ear to my complaints-
No more the whale did me confine.

With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a radiant dolphin borne;
Awful, yet bright, as lightning shone
The face of my Deliverer God.

My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
I give the glory to my God,
His all the mercy and the power.

Nearly all joined in singing this hymn, which swelled high above the howling of the storm. A brief pause ensued; the preacher slowly turned over the leaves of the Bible, and at last, folding his hand down upon the proper page, said: "Beloved shipmates, clinch the last verse of the first chapter of Jonah- 'And God had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.'

Which BEST describes how the passage draws on the Bible?

A)It alludes to the biblical story of Jonah, who was swallowed by a great fish.
B)It mirrors the famous story of Noah and the ark, as both texts deal with boats.
C)It reverses biblical ideas, calling the Bible itself into question as a religious text.
D)It has no connection to the Bible, as a work of fiction from 19th century America was unlikely to draw from the Bible.
