Answer:

Cross

The Cross is the most important symbol of Christianity. It commemorates Jesus' death on the cross and thus the central event of the Christian faith. On the one hand, the cross represents the sacrificial death of Jesus, but at the same time it symbolises his resurrection from the dead. It is venerated as a religious symbol of the reconciliation with God given by Jesus for example during the devotion to the cross on Good Friday. Crosses can be found in various forms not only in churches, but also in private homes, where they adorn God's corner. Christians also wear the cross as an ornament to show that they belong to the Christian faith.

By the way: a cross with the body of Jesus is called a crucifix. At Lignoma you will find numerous wooden crosses for your house. You can find out more about the origin and meaning of the cross in the article "the cross as symbol of christianity".

Fish

Sometimes you can see a fish attached to cars as a Christian symbol. The fish symbol says a lot about the driver: Christians are coming. The fish is one of the oldest symbols of Christianity and has its origin in early Christianity about 2000 years ago. When, under the rule of the Romans with their belief in many gods, it was still forbidden and life-threatening to call oneself a Christian, people invented a secret code to identify themselves. The choice fell on the fish, because fish means I Ch Th Y S in Greek and each of the five letters represented a word associated with Jesus. The story of the fish as a symbol of identification fell into oblivion over time and the cross became the true religious symbol of Christians. Only in the second half of the 20th century did the fish experience a revival as a Christian symbol.

Alpha and Omega

Alpha and Omega represent the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet and are a symbol for the beginning and the end, and therefore for God and especially for Jesus Christ as the first and the last. Christ also says of himself in Revelation: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end". (Revelation 22:13) Later, the alpha and the omega were used together with the cross or the monogram of Christ as symbols of Christ, e.g. on the Easter candle.

The next question refers to the written dialogue that follows. The paragraphs have been numbered to help you identify them more
SOVA2 [1]
The correct option is B. The rule is when one of the nouns connected by 'or' or 'nor' is plural then the verb must be plural and the plural subject should be placed next to the verb. Here, 'Surendra' is singular subject and 'his friends' is plural subject thus 'have been' is used which is plural verb. Hence, 'Have been' is the best fit according to the rule
