In The Veil, Marji believes she is the last what?

• A. Messiah
• B. Savior
• C. Prophet
• D. Angel

Answer: (C)

In this moment, Marji’s thinking is drawn to religious roles and she imagines having a direct divine mission. Believing she is the last prophet fits because a prophet is a messenger who speaks God’s word to people, which matches her sense that she has a special, world-changing role.

The other ideas don’t fit as cleanly: a messiah or savior implies a rescue or redemption in a broader, often messianic sense, while an angel is typically seen as a celestial being rather than a human messenger with a message to deliver. The text emphasizes her own declared vocation as a prophet, not a savior or angel.

This reflects how the atmosphere of the Iranian Revolution bleeds into a child’s imagination, shaping how she understands power, faith, and her own place in a rapidly changing world.
