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.

What might be considered as one of the negatives of a post war society
makkiz [27]
<span>You’re unlikely to be conscripted. In war, you’re collateral damage at worst. No one is going to command you to risk your life capturing a clod of dirt.You always have some baseline value to society in your reproductive system, up to a certain age. This means that even though there are disadvantages to not having other skills beyond rearing children, you’re always going to have a fallback social role. Even past childbearing age, you’re considered to be a capable surrogate parent. If a man has no social utility, he’s tossed to the bottom of society.In the modern US, family law favors women to a strong degree. If you marry a man with assets, it’s likely you can divorce and get half of it along with rights to child support and alimony. This gives you a strong negotiating position in all marital disputes. If the man walks away from negotiations, he loses 50% of everything. This is less likely to be the case in a marriage in which the woman out-earns the man.There are many generous welfare programs targeted to single mothers. Even if you get rid of your co-parent, you’ll still collect financial benefits that will help you raise your kid.<span>Longer life spans. Women tend to avoid many of the self-inflicted early deaths that men subject themselves to. Women outlive men in the US by an average of about five years . In crisis-stricken countries like Russia, that gap can be as large as about 12 years. In the US, men are far more likely to be obese than women are. Why is this the case? I’m not entirely sure. I’ve heard arguments that societies that prize the safety and social stability of females tend to succeed. When conditions turn bad, society can shed excess males, and they kill themselves off through some combination of drinking, drug abuse, obesity, suicide, and violence.</span></span>
