Explanation:

Question 11

To answer this, we recall the biblical account of Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem's walls. The opposition he faced included false accusations (from enemies like Sanballat and Tobiah), ridicule (they mocked the project), and threats of violence (they plotted to harm him). The other options include elements like lack of money or bad weather which are not part of the main opposition types described.

From biblical context (e.g., Deuteronomic teachings), Yahweh commanded against intermarriage with other nations because those nations worshiped other gods, and intermarriage could lead the Israelites to adopt idolatry (worshiping false gods), which violated their covenant. The other options present incorrect reasons (e.g., prejudice, resource sharing, or moving from homeland are not the main theological reasons).

Answer:

D. false accusations, ridicule, and threats of violence
