Read the excerpt from "Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?” I shrugged. Shondra waited. Finally, I pained my head toward the classroom nex

t door. We both knew that my nemesis, Allison Ramon, was in there. Since the third grade, Allison and I had battled for the lead in every school play. Usually we both ended up on stage in one role or another. But tomorrow’s reading was a class assignment, and Allison wasn’t in the class. She was free to wreak havoc from the audience.
What is the connotation of the word "battled”?
competed intensely
fought violently
angrily argued
secretly tricked

I would choose the first answer, "Competed intensely." 

The other choices don't make as much sense in this context. Since this excerpt seem to be based on a school setting, it is unlikely that the two characters would be fighting violently or angrily arguing. And "secretly tricked" doesn't fit this context at all. So it would be safe to say that the answer to this is the first choice.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

A Christian Saint John of the Cross recorded the ´dark night of the soul´ to explain the movement from sin to true virtue.  

Explanation:

In the book, it is written about the toil and tribulation which directs the wrong-doer to a good virtue of the works of the Creator of living, which will eventually direct him on to significant peace.

The nature of the individual who is searching to receive God's courtesy is tried out in the shadows of their own arrogance.

Although that person may carry out righteous acts prior to others and themselves, the sincerity of a person's nature, which God will eventually decide, rests within their inner wanting for a greater spiritual state.

Explanation:

the christian mystic saint john of the cross wrote about the ´dark night of the soul´ to describe the passage from sin towards true righteousness. he writes about the toil and tribulation which leads the sinner towards a greater appreciation of the works of god, which will ultimately lead him on to greater self-peace and fortitude.

before one can strive for the rewards of the blessings of god there must be some sort of test of character which proves that the holy spirit allows the individual to partake in the holiness which is bestowed by god. the progress from an initial state, where the character of the individual is in a raw unworked   form, towards a final end where the person will receive the love of god in a full manifestation, is only brought about through a test of character.

the character of the person who is looking to receive god's grace is tested in the shadows of their own pride. even though that person may perform righteous acts before others and themselves, the truth of a person's character,   which god will ultimately judge, lies within their interior wanting for a higher spiritual state.

the desire for spiritual pleasure is not the same as attaining a higher revelation of god's glory. as such, humility is very important as well as temperance in striving towards the highest light. to contemplate the darkness of our own soul implies a test of character beyond spiritual vice.

What kind of sentience is this? Stop complaining about everything and get your chores done.
Fudgin [204]
It is an imperative sentence. An exclamatory sentence would have an exclamation mark at the end, and an interrogative sentence would have a question mark. This sentence, an imperative sentence, is telling someone to do something or ordering them to, which is the basis for an imperative sentence
