Explanation:

First Question (Psalms of Thankfulness):

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Psalms of thankfulness often recall God’s justice in dealing with sin, as gratitude can stem from recognizing His righteousness.
• Option 2: Psalms of thankfulness are not focused on personal love for the authors.
• Option 3: Psalms do not center on God’s gentleness toward baby animals.
• Option 4: Psalms of thankfulness do not recall God’s kindness toward celestial bodies.

Analyzing each option:

• Option 1: God does not blame the Adversary to Job in response to his complaint.
• Option 2: God does not bully Job; the interaction is more about revealing the complexity of the world.
• Option 3: God shows Job the vastness and complexity of His creation (e.g., asking about Behemoth, Leviathan), making Job realize the world is more complex than he thought.
• Option 4: God does not explain the reason for Job’s suffering directly but shows His sovereignty over creation.
