Correct Answer: B.

Explanation:
The ages and genealogies in Genesis are tightly interconnected with historical events, timelines, and narratives such as the Flood, Abraham’s life, and Jacob’s testimony before Pharaoh. If the ages become symbolic, the chronological details throughout Genesis stop making coherent sense.

Correct Answer: C.

Explanation:
Henry pointed out that the Flood narrative gives specific references to Noah’s 600th and 601st year along with exact months and days. This demonstrates that the text is describing actual years passing in Noah’s life, not symbolic or mystical numbers.

Correct Answer: C.

Explanation:
Henry explained that many reinterpretations begin with the assumption that humans simply could not have lived for hundreds of years. Because of this assumption, scholars develop alternative explanations such as symbolism, mythology, honorific ages, or hidden meanings.

Correct Answer: D.

Explanation:
Henry argued that archaeology should support and illuminate Scripture rather than override it. When archaeology or secular assumptions become the authority over the Bible, people begin reinterpreting clear passages to fit outside theories instead of allowing Scripture to interpret itself.

Correct Answer: D.

Explanation:
Henry referenced Genesis 47, where Jacob tells Pharaoh that the years of his life are 130 years. He later lived 17 more years, dying at 147. Henry used this as evidence that the ages in Genesis are presented as straightforward historical facts, not symbolic numbers.
