Correct Answer
C. Riches

Explanation
The correct answer is "riches". In this passage from the book of Matthew, it is explained that when the word is sown among thorns, it represents someone who hears the word but is choked by the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches. This means that the distractions and allure of material wealth prevent the person from fully embracing and living out the teachings of the word, resulting in their unfruitfulness.

²⁰As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, ²¹yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the _____, immediately he falls away. -Matt 13:20-21
- A.
  
  Devil
- B.
  
  Truth
- C.
  
  Word
Correct Answer
C. Word

Explanation
This passage from Matthew 13:20-21 is part of the parable of the sower, where Jesus explains the different responses people have to hearing the word of God. In this particular scenario, the seed (the word) falls on rocky ground, representing someone who initially receives the word with joy. However, because they have no root in themselves, they are not able to endure when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word. This suggests that the word of God is the correct answer because it is the central focus of the parable and the cause of the person's falling away.

16...blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷For truly, I say to you, many _________ longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. -Matt 13:16-17
- A.
  
  Unwise people
- B.
  
  Prophets and righteous people
- C.
  
  Sinners
Correct Answer
B. PropHets and righteous people

Explanation
The correct answer is "prophets and righteous people." In this passage, Jesus is speaking to his disciples and telling them that they are blessed because they have the ability to see and hear the truth that he is teaching. He contrasts this with the prophets and righteous people of the past who longed to see and hear what the disciples are experiencing but were not able to. This implies that the disciples are privileged to have a deeper understanding of Jesus' teachings compared to those who came before them.
