BRIDGETT SUMNER, M.A. eNotes educator | CERTIFIED EDUCATOR

Edwards delivered his famous sermon during a revival movement intended to reinvigorate church attendance and bring more converts into the faith. He recognized that people were drifting away from church and relegating their faith to the background of their lives. The entire sermon is designed to shock listeners and instill a sense of urgency in their return to religion.

Edwards likely believed that Hell was an abstract notion to many of his listeners, and so he loaded the sermon with horrifying sense imagery to try to convince the congregation that Hell was a concrete place of eternal tortures.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

a "stifling world of his parents and peers, a world of abstraction and security and material excess".

Explanation:

"Into The Wild", by Jon Krakueur, tells the story of a twenty year old man named Christopher McCandless. He had just graduated from college where he studied Law. Instead of pursuing and advancing his career in Law, McCandless chooses a path which is somewhat strange. He begins his journey taking the western route and later moving north to Alaska.

He undertakes this journey because he believed that the present world which he lived in and was trying to escape from was 'stifling and reeked of material excesses'. The kind of life he now chooses to live is best described as an Ascetic life only that in his case, he does not go the spiritual route. As he begins his journey, he takes along with him books about edible wild plants and thriving in a lifestyle such as he has chosen.

Which revision best reduces the wordiness in this sentence without changing its overall meaning?During recent research, genetic
timama [110]
During recent research, genetic researchers have isolated the gene that determines the natural times a person sleeps and wakes.

Here's the issues with the sentence:

"During recent research," doesn't match the tense of "genetic researchers have isolated." 

"The natural times a person sleeps and wakes" is over explanatory, and should be simplified.

Research is repeated.

Answer: B. Genetic researchers recently isolated the gene that determines a person's natural sleep cycle.

Hope this helps!
