Fallow and insight in sentence
Cerrena [4.2K]

Thanks to the agricultural expert's insight, we decided to let the field lay fallow for a year to improve the soil quality - it was a success!

Fallow usually means that something is not fertile or being used to grow anything. Often it is seen used when talking about fields used to grow crops. Allowing a field to lay fallow for a certain amount of time can help it gain back some of the key nutrients in the soil that excessive farming may have depleted. Another word for insight is knowledge.

What is the denotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt? lines that are drawn when placing blame areas of defense in times
Sauron [17]

So, I guess the correct answer would be <span><u>long cracks in the surface of the earth</u>, because that is the definition of the word fault lines. The other options are too metaphorical, and would thus be considered to be a connotative, rather than denotative meaning.</span>
