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.

For more information about God's denotation, refer below

Ladybugs are also called lady beetles in Europe they are called ladybird beetles.
Whitepunk [10]
This sentence is incorrect because it is a run-on sentence. This means that it should be broken into two separate sentences:

Ladybugs are also called lady beetles. In Europe, they are called ladybird beetles. 

It's easy to catch this mistake by either reading the sentence out loud and listening for a natural pause, or by looking for one subject and one verb per sentence (Ladybugs are; they are).

Which of these excerpts from poems by Emily Dickinson uses irony?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
In my opinion, the whole poem is quite ironic - although she is mentioning the exultation and the royal color of death, the poem itself begins with the narrator saying that she cannot breathe - that she doesn't want to die.
So, I would say that the ironic parts are: 
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea, -
Past the houses, past the headlands,
<span>Into deep eternity!</span>
