Answer:

the earliest dream poem and one of the finest religious poems in the English language, once, but no longer, attributed to Caedmon or Cynewulf. In a dream the unknown poet beholds a beautiful tree—the rood, or cross, on which Christ died. The rood tells him its own story. Forced to be the instrument of the saviour’s death, it describes how it suffered the nail wounds, spear shafts, and insults along with Christ to fulfill God’s will. Once blood-stained and horrible, it is now the resplendent sign of mankind’s redemption. The poem was originally known only in fragmentary form from some 8th-century runic inscriptions on the Ruthwell Cross, now standing in the parish church of Ruthwell, now Dumfries District, Dumfries and Galloway Region, Scot. The complete version became known with the discovery of the 10th-century Vercelli Book in northern Italy in 1822.

What does the word reorganize mean in the following sentence? Carrie decided to reorganize her closet before the new school year
lina2011 [118]
The answer would be (D), put in order again.
If we look closely we can see that the word "reorganize" is really just re+organize. Re is a prefix, and it means "again". 
We know that to organize is to order, and re means again, so reorganize would mean "to put in order again."
Hope I helped! ;)

Most religious terms in English are from Anglo-Saxon origin.

True or False:

<u><em>False</em></u>

Most <u>religious terms</u> in English come from <u>Latin origin</u>. These terms were introduced during the <u>Roman Conquest</u> (43-84 AD) through the Romans' main language: Latin. Most of the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon religions that were practiced were slowly suppressed by <u>Christianity</u>. This process was officially achieved in the <u>year 597 </u>in which Augustine of Canterbury was sent by Gregory the Great with the intention of fully evangelizing England's population.
