Answer:

The word "facetious" means lacking a serious or respectful attitude  

Explanation:

The formal definition of the word facetious is to make fun of something or not to take something very seriously so it could refer to attitudes or personalities, in this case, taking away the seriousness or importance of the question or trying not to get to into a religious topic by talking about the things that God did.

<span>The old South Boston Aquarium stands
in a Sahara of snow now. Its broken windows are boarded.
The bronze weathervane cod has lost half its scales.
The airy tanks are dry.Once my nose crawled like a snail on the glass;
my hand tingled
to burst the bubbles,
drifting from the noses of the cowed, compliant fish.
The first two verses are the perfect poetic evidence of Robert Lowell's poem. He rhythmically described the loss of the childhood memories in the beginning and continued establishing the development of the character further in the poetry.</span>

Why does Rama shoot his arrow through seven sala trees
xeze [42]
He shot his arrow through the seven trees because it was a challenge. It was done to prove his strength, valor, and skill. Not only did it do that, but it also pierced a mountain, entered earth, made a circle and came through the other side and went back into Rama's quiver.
