descant 28 to reflect, brood, or mull over to make a comment or to discuss at length The contextual meaning and dictionary definition differ from one another; from the context, the word seems to mean "to mull over something," but it actually means "to make a comment."

tendering 48 looking after  to treat with tender regard The contextual meaning is “to look after,” while the dictionary definition more specifically means “to treat with tender regard.”

hearkens 59 to listen  to give respectful attention or to listen respectfully The dictionary definition is more specific than the contextual meaning.

tempers 70 to rile up or provoke to exercise control over or to make something less severe The contextual meaning seems to be "to provoke" or "to rile up," but the dictionary definition is “to control.”

suppliant 79 a request a person who asks for something in a respectful way from someone more powerful The contextual meaning is “a request,” but the dictionary definition refers a person making a request.

livery 85 clothes a uniform worn by servants  The dictionary definition is more precise than the contextual meaning.

beseech 89 to ask or beg to urgently ask someone to do or provide something The dictionary definition is more precise than the contextual definition.

enfranchise 115 to free to set free; liberate The contextual meaning is quite similar to the dictionary definition.

Melchizedek and the king of Sodom presented a marked contrast as they both descended into the king's dale in Genesis 14:17-18. M
denpristay [2]

Answer:Melchizedek and the king of Sodom presented a marked contrast as they both descended into the king's dale in Genesis 14:17-18. Melchizedek was a mature believer; he was a king and a priest. He went down to give Abram communion and to help Abram keep his eyes firmly fixed on the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth, the source of his blessings. The king of Sodom, on the other hand, was no longer a king. His kingdom had been taken from him by force. As a man, he was clever and evil. He went down to ambush Abram, to rob him of the joy of God's grace and deliverance, to tempt him with the loot he had brought back. He ordered Abram to give him the people, for whom Abram could have demanded a ransom. He offered to let Abram keep the plunder, which would have made Abram the richest man in the world. His aim was to get Abram's eyes off the source and onto the possessions.

How did losing the senate race in 1858 help lincoln most?
marin [14]

Answer:

Lincoln said:

"I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable questions of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone."

How does the image of a "big, yeasty mound of dough rising in her
Liula [17]

Answer:

It conveys anticipation.

Explanation:

There are many literary expressions that simulate or evoke the feeling of nervousness, apprehension, or anticipation. Having butterflies in one's stomach or ants in one's pants describe nervousness and ansiness well because it is easy to imagine how it would feel for those things to actually be where we say they are.

The same applies to yeast. Imagining a mass of bread dough rising in a bowl inside our chest evokes an image of pressure and angst. The tension is building more and more and the anticipation is rising!
