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.

What does Romeo and Juliet have in common with Senecan drama in terms of content?
White raven [17]

The dramaturgy genre cultivated since Greek and Roman times and tend to conserve the original structure of the plays.  That´s the reason why all options are correct.

Among them, the moralizing didactic content is central. The theater was accessible to the people, therefore, the works were written with an educational purpose. In Seneca as well as in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a reflection is promoted on the audience about the passions and values ​​of men and women in society.

Due to the tragic cadence of Romeo and Juliet and the seriousness of the themes that Seneca approached, the author worked with a character and a chorus of singers which utility was to act as a comic relief. In this way, the audience didn´t get angry with the scenes depicted.

In both plays - Romeo and Juliet and Seneca´s - we can mention the prophetic dreams. One of the characters anticipates the tragic final because he or she dreams the overcome of terrible episodes.

These dreams lead the characters to confront a tragic fate. As well as the poor Oedipus was condemned to fall in love with his mother, Romeo and Juliet were sentenced to die separately.

Nevertheless, the nature of fate in each play is different. Edipo ´s destiny was influenced by the decisions of superior gods and stars while Romeo and Juliet´s outcome has to deal with human limitations.
