This sentence is C. literal meaning, because there exists the Erie Canal in New York, so the meaning of the sentence is quite literal - it isn't a metaphor, or a symbol of anything, and it isn't a simile, since there is no comparison here.

Churchill draws attention to the contrasting sides of Henry VIII through detail. How is the impact of this sentence strengthened
baherus [9]

Answer and Explanation:

"To those who saw him often he seemed almost like two men: one the merry monarch of the hunt and banquet and procession, the friend of children, the patron of every kind of sport; the other the cold, acute observer of the audience chamber or the Council, watching vigilantly, weighing arguments, refusing except under the stress of great events to speak his own mind."

Winston Churchill, "King Henry VIII," Churchill's History of the English- Speaking People's

The sentence's impact comes strongly when we get to know the contrasting side of King Henry VIII, which he presented in his speech.  This sentence has more impact because he starts with nice and soft words: the friend of children,  the patron of every kind of sport and then ends with harsh and cold words: weighing arguments, refusing, speak his mind.

Match the reformer to his or her contribution to the reformation movement
34kurt
Hello! I have found the names of the reformers and the options for the contributions from another source but I will just go over them one reformer at a time to avoid repetition!

Elizabeth I
Contribution: offered tolerance to Catholics as long as they showed loyalty to the English monarch

After the Religious Settlement of 1559 that crowned Queen Elizabeth I the Supreme Head of the Church, she faced pressure from the many Protestant refugees who wished for the queen to go against the Catholics which drove them away before her reign. However, she adopted a more careful approach and that is to tolerate all Catholics as long as they will just remain loyal to the monarchy.

John Wycliffe
Contribution: translated religious scripture into a language common people could understand

A professor at Oxford, Wycliffe believed that the current teachings of the Catholic Church go against what was stated in the Bible. Because of this, he decided to translate the manuscripts to English. The Bible was only available in Latin by then (a language not known by the common folks). He was then credited as the first producer of the hand-written English Bibles.

Martin Luther
Contribution: questioned the rightful extent of the pope’s religious authority

Martin Luther was the author of the very infamous "95 Theses" which mainly attacked the Catholic Church and its corruption particularly with the indulgences they are selling. He also believed that the main authority should go to the Bible. His work sparked the Protestant Reformation.
