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.

Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet depicts the lives of two lovers and the events of their lives as they hide their love from their parents. The personalities, attitudes, and emotions of Romeo and Juliet mimic those of teenagers today.

<span>These similarities occur in the way Romeo and Juliet and teens today act. The first likeness is in the word choice they all use. In the play, Juliet chooses her words carefully while talking to Count Paris so that she doesn’t commit herself to him or say that she doesn’t want to be his wife. This deceiving word play is copied by teenagers in the present day. They also talk themselves out of a tuff situation by misleading whoever they are talking to. The word used to describe this is equivocal, meaning that there could be many interpretations of what is being said.</span>
