According to chapter 5 of Night, the correct answer is option b: Just by being alive, humans are stronger because Elie believes God is dead.
To find the answer to this question, we would need to refer to Chapter 5 of the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. In this chapter, Elie discusses his struggle with faith and the atrocities he witnesses during the Holocaust. Let's refer to the chapter and explore the options provided.
a) Elie believes humans are more resilient and forgiving than God: While Elie does question God's role in the face of such suffering, there is no direct mention in Chapter 5 about humans being more resilient or forgiving than God.
b) Just by being alive they are stronger because Elie believes God is dead: Elie does question God's existence and wonders if He has abandoned humanity. However, there is no explicit mention of Elie thinking that being alive makes humans stronger than God.
c) He thinks people lose their ability to feel after experiencing such horrors, making them stronger emotionally than God: In Chapter 5, Elie does discuss the emotional numbness that he and others experience due to the horrors they have witnessed in the concentration camps. However, there is no mention of Elie comparing this emotional state to God's emotional capacity. Therefore, this option does not align with the content of Chapter 5.
d) He thinks they are physically and mentally able to endure more than God ever could: In Chapter 5, Elie questions the suffering and the silence of God, but there is no explicit mention of him comparing human endurance to God's capacity to endure. Therefore, this option does not align with the content of Chapter 5.
Based on the analysis, none of the options provided accurately represents Elie's beliefs about human beings being stronger than God in Chapter 5 of "Night." It is recommended to refer to the actual text for a more accurate understanding of Elie's beliefs on this matter.
