How did society worship God?

• A. They served each other
• B. They worshiped through ritual sacrifices
• C. They prayed alone in private
• D. They ignored religious duties

Answer: (A)

Society worships God through how people treat one another and fulfill their duties within the community. In early American writing—especially the Puritan and covenant-conscious traditions—piety is shown in acts of service, charity, and mutual aid. That outward, communal practice is read as obedience to God and as living out one’s faith in daily life. So serving each other is the best description of worship because it captures worship as enacted through social responsibility and communal care, not through ritual sacrifices or private, solitary prayers. Ignoring religious duties would contradict the moral framework of these works, and while private prayer is part of religious life, the texts emphasize the communal expression of faith through action.
