Answer:

1.Red lion holding the Honors of Scotland: The crest atop the Crown of Scotland is a red lion, seated and forward facing, itself wearing the Crown of Scotland and holding the two remaining elements of the Honours of Scotland, namely the Sword of State and the Sceptre of Scotland. This was also the crest used in the Royal Arms of the Kingdom of Scotland.

2.Crowned English lion: The Lion is the emblem of England. It is now, on badges, actually a "lion passant gardant" - a walking lion, looking out at you full face, and was first used by Rollo, Duke of Normandy (father of William the Conqueror, who added the second lion to the Royal Coat of Arms for England.)

3. Fleurs-de-lis: The French monarchy possibly adopted the Fleur-de-lis for its royal coat of arms as a symbol of purity to commemorate the conversion of Clovis I, and a reminder of the Fleur-de-lis ampulla that held the oil used to anoint the king. So, the fleur-de-lis stood as a symbol of the king's divinely approved right to rule.

4.Scottish lion rampant: It seems that the rampant lion design was first used as a symbol of the Scottish kingdom by King Alexander II (1214 - 1249 AD). It appeared as a coat of arms on one of his seals in 1222, and also later, on a seal of Alexander III.

5.Irish Harp: An Irish harp appears on the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom to represent Ireland's place in the UK. The shield is quartered, with the guardant lions of England filling the first and forth quarters, the rampant lion and double treasure flory-counterflory of Scotland in the second, and the Irish harp in the third. The Irish harp is the featured element on the coat of arms of Ireland.

6.Crowned English Lion: The dexter supporter is a likewise crowned English lion; the sinister, a Scottish unicorn. According to legend a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast; therefore the heraldic unicorn is chained, as were both supporting unicorns in the royal coat of arms of Scotland.

7.Unicorn: The Lion and the Unicorn are symbols of the United Kingdom. They are, properly speaking, heraldic supporters appearing in the full royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The lion stands for England and the unicorn for Scotland.

Unclear question. I inferred from only;

Question 9: What connotations would these lines have invoked in the listener of Edward’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands I’d an Angry God” choose two

Answer:

<u>feelings of fear</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are certain expressions in Edward’s sermon that can invoke fear into the minds of listeners. For example when he said;

"There is the dreadful pit of glowing flames of the wrath of God; there is hell's wide gaping mouth open, and you have nothing to stand upon, nor anything to take hold of..."

In effect, his words create a sense of fear for listeners that God is angry towards those Edward calls "sinners".

Answer:

Most people probably agree to this, honesty is the key to understanding how someone really feels and can keep from causing trouble.

Some reasons are because no one wants to be lied to, people want to be trusted, and when you lie that trust slips away.

And a lot of the time lying or hiding the truth is a very heavy burden that can become too much, causing people to feel pain mentally and to a certain rate physically, depending on how bad the situation is.

Although the majority agree with this you also need to consider that some people don't agree.

Sometimes telling the truth is really harsh and can discourage someone. Sometimes the truth is something no one wants to hear. Also, you can lie to protect yourself in dangerous situations.

Like if someone asks for personal information like address, or hometown, usually, you would refuse but making something up is also an option. Maybe someone asks you something personal that pushes you out of your comfort zone or gives you trauma/pain people might not want to be honest in order to protect themselves.

I hope this is a good answer and it helps! :)
