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 following sentence is missing a necessary colon or contains an unnecessary one. Select the answer option that will make the
Reika [66]

The correct answer is B. Replace the comma after persists with a colon.

Explanation

A colon (:) is a punctuation mark represented by one period above another. Its main function is to stop the speech to draw the reader's attention to what is next in the text. Its most common uses are in the explanatory enumeration and the introduction of quotes or verbatim words.

According to the above, it can be inferred that the correct answer is B because in the sentence "According to Stonehill, a primitive standard of attractiveness persists, "Some researchers have ..." " the author is adding a quote and it would be appropriate to replace the comma after persists with a colon.

1.Read these lines from the poem.
snow_lady [41]

Answer 1: B. They reveal that the speaker enters relationships for her own amusement.

In a small extract like this, words like "alone" and "bore away" are crucial. The author here is describing that they took the "glory and the spoil" by bearing away (removing themselves from a certain place, environment, or mental or emotional state) and laughing, suggesting a careless person who gets through life by not taking things too seriously. This does not allude to someone of a generous nature (A), someone who takes things (a relationship) seriously (C) or reinforces the idea that the speaker is intentionally cruel (D). The lines however do reveal that the spearker enters a relationship for her own amusement (B), as we know that this careless person likes to be amused (laugh) and tends to be careless, especially with other people's feelings. Therefore, B is the answer.
