First Great Awakening

In the 1700's, a European philosophical movement, called the Enlightenment, swept America. Also called the Age of Reason, this era laid the foundation for a scientific, rather than religious, worldview. Freedom of conscience was at the heart of this struggle against old regimes and old ways of thinking, and it changed the way people viewed authority. In the same way, a religious revival, called the Great Awakening, changed the way people thought about their relationship with the divine, with themselves and with other people. The Enlightenment engaged the mind, but the Great Awakening engaged the heart.

The First Great Awakening affected British North America in the 1730s and 40's. True to the values of the Enlightenment, the Awakening emphasized human decision in matters of religion and morality. It respected each individual's feelings and emotions. In stark contrast to Puritanism, which emphasized outward actions as proof of salvation, the Great Awakening focused on inward changes in the Christian's heart.

Answer:

The First Great Awakening (sometimes Great Awakening) or the Evangelical Revival was a series of Christian revivals that swept Britain and its Thirteen Colonies between the 1730s and 1740s. The revival movement permanently affected Protestantism as adherents strove to renew individual piety and religious devotion.

According to the parados, the ancient Greeks believed that the gods punished __________ people.
Nuetrik [128]
<span>According to the parados, the ancient Greeks believed that the gods punished boastful people. Pride is one of seven deadly sins, so it is obvious that it is something you may be punished for. If you are way too proud, and boast about your successes too much, you are likely to be punished, according to the ancient Greek beliefs. There is no reason to punish a joyful and humble person, and if you fear and revere gods, that is always a good thing.</span>

liq [111]

The correct linking words to indicate sequence are "as" and "first."

Both are connectors that join different parts of a text and provide the written work with a chronological order.

The other alternatives are wrong  because of the following reasons:

  • "When" is a conjunction that means "just the moment that." "Tubby" is the name of the baby raccoon, so it does not indicate sequence.
  • "Finally" is a connector which shows progression, but its pair "ready" is  an adjective.
  • "Always" is an adverb of frequency, and "because" is a conjunction that suggests reason.
