Answer:

D. That he wants to give her comfort and warmth is the correct answer.

Explanation:

I Am Offering This Poem is a poem written by Chicano poet Jimmy Santiago Baca. This is a poem that shows love from the speaker to his beloved one by offering everything he has -the poem.

A metaphor is rhetorical device that compares two things (in an implicit way); in this case, the speaker mentions that he wants his beloved one to be comfortable and give her warmth, the speaker literally mentions that he wants to <em>warm</em> her belly, so D is the correct answer.

“Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God….” What is the BEST meaning of impious as Paine
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I would say the correct answer is B. immoral.
The word impious means that you aren't showing respect to God, the respect he deserves. So when you are impious, it means you are disrespectful towards God, meaning you are acting in an immoral way, because God is the epitome of morality and everything good.
