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:devour

Explanation:Devour according to Oxford dictionary refers eat all something quickly because you are extremely hungry this gives the same feeling or idea as the feeling provided by the word swallow .

Connotations refers to the feeling or an idea that we get from a certain word besides it's literally meaning.

When we hear the word swallow the idea that comes to mind is that someone just gobble up something and we get the same feeling with the word devour.

Connotations create an emotional attachment to that word.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

A lion is dangerous than a rabbit.

A rabbit is smaller than a dog.

A crocodile is dangerous than a hippopotamus.

A hippopotamus is heavier than a gazelle.

A gazelle is beautiful than a hippopotamus.

A gazelle is nervous than a rabbit

Explanation:

A lion is a wild animal while a rabbit is a domestic animal. So wild animals are more dangerous than domestic animals.

The rabbit's body size is smaller than a dog's body size.

A crocodile is more dangerous than a hippopotamus because they have sharp teeth s and are faster than the hippopotamus.

Hippos have barrel-shaped bodies with short legs and long muzzles. Their skeletal structures are graviportal, adapted to carrying their enormous weight, and their specific gravity allows them to sink and move along the bottom of a river. So they are heavier than a gazelle.

A gazelle is beautiful than a hippopotamus because hippos have rough, tough and barrel-shaped body. A gazelle is of average height with horns and a little bit long legs.

A gazelle is nervous than a rabbit because Gazelles are nervous and flighty animals that when handled can inflict serious injuries on themselves and their handlers while for the rabbits, when danger is perceived, the general tendency of rabbits is to freeze and hide under cover. If chased by a predator, they engage in quick, irregular movement, designed more to evade and confuse than to outdistance a pursuer. Other than loud screams when frightened or caught by a predator, the only auditory signal known for most species is a loud foot thump made to indicate alarm. Rabbits don't hurt themselves or the predator like the gazelle does.
