Answer:

The correct answer is letter B) <u>throw with force</u>.

Explanation:

As we know, denotation refers to the primary, original meaning of a word -- in contrast to connotation, which refers to a secondary meaning evoked in a certain context. By definition, the verb "cast" means to throw something forcefully in a specific direction. In the passage, God is the one throwing his enemies with force into hell. Even if we did not know the meaning of cast, we would have been able to get to that conclusion due to the context surrounding the word. The passage is talking of violent actions such as cutting and crushing. Tossing lightly, releasing into air, or dropping casually, therefore, would greatly contrast with the meaning of the whole paragraph.

The metaphor is used in this scenario to make comparison of an anger to a tree. We should note that a while means a truck that's deceitful. Therefore, the deceitful wiles by the narrator is to lesson his wrath at that particular time even though he may be planning something that's mischievous later.
