The denotation of the word "cast" in this excerpt is an option (b) or (ii), which is <u><em>"thrown with force."</em></u>
<h3 /><h3>What exactly does the word "cast" imply?</h3>
Denotation, as we all know, relates to a word's basic, original meaning, as opposed to connotation, which refers to a secondary meaning produced in a certain situation.
The excerpt that is related to the question is from <em>"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."</em>
The verb "cast" is defined as "throwing something violently in a certain direction." In the text, God is the one who throws his foes into hell with a vengeance.
Even if we didn't know the definition of the cast, the context surrounding the word would have led us to that conclusion.
The passage refers to violent acts like smashing, crushing, and tossing gently, releasing into the air, or dropping casually, on the other hand, which would be in stark contrast to the entire paragraph's meaning.
