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.

Write a debate on private is better than public school​
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Both will give you a quality education, so there is no "one is better than the other."

Explanation:

However, I do believe that private school is better because of its overall quality. Families are spending more money for their kids to get a better education. Extra money will go towards the campus (buildings, textbooks, teachers, and so on).

The school will make sure, with more money, that their buildings are clean and safe to use. This will help kids feel comfortable in their classes.

Teachers will likely get higher payment, so they will be more likely to teach better and take better care of their students.

Private schools are also much smaller, so teachers can spend more one-on-one time with their students.
