<span>II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

The passage states that a spider's web is not strong enough to stop a falling rock. Its home will be destroyed and the spider must rebuild his web again.

The correct answer is II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

Explanation: In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, the author uses a metaphor to explain how low God considers sinners to be, and that they are weak in the face of his wrath. Edwards compares spiders to sinners because of how weak and loathesome they are, and the spider's web represents the sinner's congregation. The rock falling through the web represents God's strength and gravity towards sinners.

What words start with a j and describe jane goodall?
DIA [1.3K]
just. this means she does things based on what is morally right. 

jubilant. this means she is often excited, rejoicing. overly happy.

joyful. this is similar to jubilant, but means less celebratory and more happy. 

why these words could be used to describe jane goodall: wanting to observe and be around the chimpanzees not only to end curiosity, but help people learn more about them so that this knowledge could be used later when learning how to protect them could be considered just and morally right. being able to accomplish so much and just be around happy chimps and know that people support what she did could have made her rather jubilant and celebratory, especially when learning new things about chimps that others had not known before then. she seemed to be an overall happy person, especially around the animals, and people have never really described her as a miserable person to be around. this could make her joyful.

Please read the following excerpt from an essay, and answer the question that follows.I've never actually met a real live humori
Otrada [13]

Answer:

A. Specific Detail

Explanation:

It is definitely not humor or assertion, which is a confident, forceful statement.  I don't see it as simplicity because that is plain, natural, or easy to understand.  When writing a thesis statement, your topic needs to be strong and to the point, which is more a specific detail.  In this case, it is a specific detail about the narrator.

Explain how sport personalities are potrayed by the media and how the potrayal influence people?
cluponka [151]
Well, sport personalities are usually admired by a lot of people for their fame and talent and money. However, some people on the media may make up things or spread rumors about them, especially if they don't like a certain team they are playing on. This influences people because they sometimes want to achieve their goals or are inspired by something they do. However, how someone influences a person is entirely based upon that person.
