Answer: The meaning of the word "mortify" is to subdue a body's desires.

Explanation:<u> </u><u>The word "mortify" is a verb and its meaning is to repress a body's desires as well as its needs by means of discipline</u>, such as denial, abstinence and self-inflicted pain. In that way, the term "mortify" is used to refer to the activity of deadening the passions. Moreover, this verb collocates with the words "yourself" and "flesh", as it has been used in this excerpt from <em>Jane Eyre.</em>

In this passage of Jane Eyre, the word mortify has a Christian connotation. Motify usually means to make somebody feel ashamed or embarrased, but also to subdue something through punishment or discipline.

In this context, when he talks about mortifying the lusts of flesh, he is talking about ending the sinful nature of lust and sexuality as part of a process of santification, through discipline or even punishment chastising the body to submission.

A scene about an important, fictional event.
Vsevolod [243]
     I stood in the back of the crowd, watching as the elf king walked towards the pulpit where the human queen already stood in all the grandness of the twelve regions. She stood, her head held high, her long white hair from years of war flowing freely in the gentle breeze. Her dress was made of golden silk with details of white flowers patterned onto the fabric. She represented the best the human kind had to offer, a willingness to bow and say that this centuries long war would be put to an end.
     The elf king dipped his head in return, he was wearing long royal blue robes, his short brown hair pushed back as he straightened again. Setting his quill in the ink first he signed his name followed shortly by our queen.
     They shook hands and the crowd cheered. The war was over.

Hope this isn't too long, and hope you like my writing. Just whipped this up. ^-^

Answer: close to ineffective, but not yet

Explanation:

Raising it to the manager might be effective in a way where they can delegate the job to someone with a lesser workload, but you're now keeping the candidate waiting.
Also since this looks like a job interview, maybe keep it to your own personal opinions?
