The obvious answer would be C. rhyme.
As you can see, each of these lines rhyme: sea rhymes with C, and me, and be. Those words sound similar, which means they rhyme. There are no metaphors (comparisons) and onomatopoeias (mimicking the sounds from nature) here, or alliterations (repetition of the same consonant) in this excerpt.

Read Isaiah 53:4, 5, 7, 8, 10. Select the best description. Speaks of Jesus being accused of wrong, but He refused to defend Him
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Speaks of Jesus being accused of wrong, but He refused to defend Himself. He remained quiet.

Explanation:

The Book of Isaiah is the 23rd book in the Old Testament of the Christians' holy book "The Holy Bible". This particular book contains a lot of descriptions as well as predictions for the future of the world. Not only that, it also includes the coming of the Messiah and the saving of the whole world through the suffering of the Son of God.

Isaiah 53 verse 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 says -

<em>4</em><em> Surely he took up our pain </em>

<em>    and bore our suffering, </em>

<em>yet we considered him punished by God, </em>

<em>    stricken by him, and afflicted. </em>

<em>5 </em><em>But he was pierced for our transgressions, </em>

<em>    he was crushed for our iniquities; </em>

<em>the punishment that brought us peace was on him, </em>

<em>    and by his wounds we are healed.</em>

<em>7</em><em> "He was oppressed and afflicted,</em>

<em>   yet he did not open his mouth;</em>

<em>he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,</em>

<em>   and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,</em>

<em>   so he did not open his mouth."</em>

<em>8 </em><em>By oppression and judgment he was taken away. </em>

<em>    Yet who of his generation protested? </em>

<em>For he was cut off from the land of the living; </em>

<em>    for the transgression of my people he was punished.</em>

<em>10</em><em> Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, </em>

<em>    and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, </em>

<em>he will see his offspring and prolong his days, </em>

<em>    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.</em>

These lines predicts the suffering of Christ at the hands of those who are against him. Like a sheep, he remained silent, suffering whatever was inflicted upon him for the sake of the salvation of the whole world. These lines talks of how Jesus will be wrongly accused but will not defend himself. Instead, he will rather remain quiet and silently endure the torture that was put on him.

How does art help readers understand the temple?
Lina20 [59]

Jack M. Lyon gives a beautiful presentation to the depths of his new book titled "Understanding Temple Symbols Through Scripture, History, and Art."

Taking sacred themes from the design, construction and presentation of holy temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Lyon explores constructs and concepts of these scriptural symbols most respectfully through the lenses of history and art.

The book is full of gorgeous reproductions of ancient art, creating a stunning collection showcased between prophetic and scriptural quotes that draw the reader in toward new depths of understanding.

Lyon, a prolific author and a previous managing editor at Deseret Book, has presented a wealth of information for the mind and the spirit with this tool of temple thoughts. Organized by theme, the book is structured to cover preparation for the temple, the creation, the trees of life and knowledge, the mortal world, ordinances of the temple, and promises yet to be fulfilled. The prologue sets the tone as one of pondering, and the epilogue brings the reader full circle back to application in modern culture.

"Understanding Temple Symbols" works for those who want an in-depth academic analysis or their temple experiences to be enlightened further. The simple teachings of the temple make the book an easy read, while the historical references included with artwork and photographs could leave the reader busy for hours within its pages and pondering once the book is set aside.

Clearly, a culmination of Lyon's study process is well-documented through his previous publications as well as his editorial work on volumes by Hugh Nibley and "The Papers of Joseph Smith," "Understanding Temple Symbols" is a profound work of art and powerful in its own right. this is how i get to understand the temple
