What might be the significance of Caedmon being a simple cowherd?

1 answer:

6 0

As Bede, the writer, was a devout Christian, he used many references to Christianity in his work. Jesus Christ was considered a shepherd to his flock as he led people out of sinful lives into sin-free lives. Similarly, Caedmon is said to have led people away from their vices and toward the path to heaven through his song. A cowherd was also a person at the bottom of the social ladder. This fact might be meant to imply that through divine grace, even a man from a humble background may change many lives.

What is the definition of a noun?

leva [86]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. a word that names a person, place, or thing.

Explanation:

Nouns are words that give us the names of people (John, Helen, Tom, etc.), places (courtyard, school, home, etc.), things (pencil, desk, computer, etc.). emotions (love, hate, happiness, etc.), and many other things. They usually act as subjects or objects within a sentence.

A is incorrect because that definition refers to pronoun, rather than noun. B is incorrect because nouns express so much more than just emotions. C is incorrect because that definition refers to verbs. Therefore, we are left with D.
