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.

Read the lines from Act I of Hamlet, in which King Claudius comments on Hamlet's mourning, and answer the question.
Archy [21]

The answer is:

B. Grieving is considered cowardly and serves for the weak of heart.

In King Claudius' lines from "Shakespeare," he expresses to Hamlet that he should not be sad over the loss of his father. First, because it is the natural law of life - parents die and their children outlast them. Secondly, it is not manly - mourning a father is not a masculine attitude a man should possess. Likewise, such behavior belongs to those who have a sensitive heart and a weak mind. He also suggests that Hamlet starts calling him father.
