The devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them,

and swallow them up; the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out; and they have no interest in any Mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. In short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of. Which word has a similar connotation to the word “swallow” in this excerpt?

Answer:

A). Devour

Explanation:

The Connotation is characterized as the 'meaning of a word or phrase that is implied or suggested by the author in the context they are used in.

In the given paragraph, the word 'swallow' connotes 'to envelop or absorb something completely' through which the author suggests that 'the devil and the hell are fain to enclose(swallow) them completely.' This is <u>similar to the meaning of the word 'devour'(to absorb or engross something or someone mindfully')</u> as suggested by the author. Thus, both the word suggests a similar meaning, and hence, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

B. They suggest a sense of space with resonating power. "Wild and free" sounds powerful and since it is desert and the forest, it also implies space. Hope this helps.

Answer:

The subject of war can be both delicate and contentious. Many people have different views and perspectives on this topic as well as personal experiences. A war like the Vietnam War changed many people's lives and caused harm to their homes, livelihoods, and so on. This conflict lasted from 1955 to 1975. Many people influenced by the Vietnam War wrote books, essays, and other types of art to explain and tell about their memories and perspectives on the war. Former Vietnam soldier Tim O'Brien claims in "The Things They Carried" that war can be both frightening and peaceful, albeit in "Condemnation"
