done

Explanation:

The text uses vivid and intense imagery like "the furnace is now hot", "the flames do now rage and glow" to describe God's wrath. Such imagery is not calm (eliminating the first option). It's not boring or detached (eliminating the second option). And it's not joyful (eliminating the fourth option). The intense and fiery descriptions are meant to create a sense of fear (due to the wrath and damnation described) and urgency (as the "furnace is now hot" and ready to receive them).

Answer:

It conveys fear and urgency.
