The fire and brimstone sermon by Jonathan Edwards is meant to throw fear into the hearts of those wayward Puritans- of his congregation, for as Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Fear is an instructor of great sagacity and the herald of all resolutions." Paradoxically, Edwards was a Calvinist who believed in predestination, yet he also believed people are responsible for their actions. And, so, he preaches a sermon that is replete with fear-inspiring imagery.
The prevailing image of this sermon is the image of the bottomless pit of hell whose fiery floods wax high enough to burn the gossamer thread that holds the unworthy souls who are weighted down with wickedness in the first place. Edwards speaks in hyperbole: "the floods of God's vengeance"; "the fiery floods of fierceness"; the bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string and justice bends the arrow at your heart."
This frightening sermon of Edwards is constructed around a passage from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible: "The foot shall slide in due time." Using the metaphor of a slippery slide, Edwards, at a revival where his famous sermon was given, points to the dangers of spiritual sliding. The yawning abyss waits for the sinners, whose wickedness makes them "heavy as lead," and only the "mere pleasure" of God keeps them from burning in the images of "fiery floods" and "fire of wrath." Especially, the image of the sinner held over the fires of hell by only a gossamer thread is effectively fear-inspiring as many Puritans fled in fear from Edwards's revival.

Let's examine the options.
a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other
This is the indirect sense we get from the passage, based on the way the Greeks express disdain toward the Cyclops for not meeting each other. The Greeks say the "Cyclopes have...no meeting, no consultation or old tribal ways" after calling them "giants, louts, without a law to bless them" and saying they live in ignorance.
b) the Greeks shun meetings and consultation
From the way the passage condemns the Cyclops for having "no muster and no meeting, no consultation...", we can tell the Greeks shun not having meetings and consultation. This option is wrong.
c) the Greeks, unlike Cyclops, live alone in caves
Based on the text - "Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,...each one dwells in his own mountain cave" - Cyclops, not Greeks, are the ones living in caves. This option is wrong.
d) the Cyclops have taught the Greeks the value of society
We get the sense the Cyclops themselves don't know the value of society - in fact, they shut the world out ("each one dwells in his own mountain cave"). They are called ignorant louts "indifferent to what others do". This option is wrong.
Answer:a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other
Excerpt from The Rainbow, Chapter X (excerpt) D. H. Lawrence Gudrun and Ursula were co-mates. The second child, with her long, sleepy body and her endless chain of fancies, would have nothing to do with realities. She was not for them, she was for her own fancies. Ursula was the one for realities. So Gudrun left all such to her elder sister, and trusted in her implicitly, indifferently. Ursula had a great tenderness for her co-mate sister. It was no good trying to make Gudrun responsible. She floated along like a fish in the sea, perfect within the medium of her own difference and being. Other existence did not trouble her. Only she believed in Ursula, and trusted to Ursula. From this passage, what can be understood to be implicitly stated? A) Gudrun and Ursula don't see eye to eye. B) Gudrun is likable, while Ursula is unlikable. C) Gudrun is a daydreamer; Ursula is practical. Eliminate D) Gudrun and Ursula don't understand one another.
Answer:
C) Gudrun is a daydreamer; Ursula is practical.
Explanation:
"The Rainbow" by David Herbert Lawrence deals with the three generations of the Brangwen family, from Tom Brangwen to Ursula Brangwen. Practically coming from a farming family, the story ends with Ursula becoming a teacher, far improved from the farming background. This novel shows the development and urbanization of Britain.
The passage in the question is from the last and most extended part of the novel about the granddaughter Ursula. This part revolves around her struggle to find fulfillment for her passions. But unable to get anything, the novel ends with Ursula seeing a rainbow towering over the earth, a symbol of a new beginning, just like in from the Biblical rainbow over the ark after the flood. The specific passage shows that Gudrun is a daydreamer while Ursula is the practical one of the sisters.

Which participle or participial phrase modifies the wrong noun ? “Hoping for a few scraps of food” “ whining ” “ no begging” “ pushing his plate away from the edge of the table “
Your question is missing the passage that includes the participial phrases and the noun. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Hoping for a few scraps of food, the tiny puppy scooted closer to the table where the man was eating. She placed her paws on the edge of the man's seat to signal that she was hungry. The man gently eased the whining puppy back onto the floor. "No begging," he scolded. Pushing his plate away from the edge of the table, the puppy walked away from the man.
Which participle or participial phrase modifies the wrong noun?
A.“hoping for a few scraps of food”
B.“whining”
C.“no begging”
D.“pushing his plate away from the edge of the table”
Answer:
The participial phrase the modifies the wrong noun is:
D. pushing his plate away from the edge of the table
Explanation:
From the passage we learn that the puppy is a female. It is referred to with the pronoun "she". The puppy approaches a man who is eating at a table. At the end of the passage, we read "No begging," he scolded. Pushing his plate away from the edge of the table, the puppy walked away from the man. The participial phrase "pushing his plate away from the edge of the table" comes right before the noun "puppy" and is separated from it by a comma. That makes it seem as if it refers to the puppy. However, we know that the puppy should not be the one to push the plate away. It should be the man, who does not want to give the puppy his food. To have the participial phrase modify the correct noun, the punctuation should be changed as follows:
"No begging," he scolded, pushing his plate away from the edge of the table. The puppy walked away from the man.
It is now clear that the man was the one pushing the plate, and not the puppy.
Answer:
D: “pushing his plate away from the edge of the table”

B) He views "fote" as being something above him and beyond his control.
C) He is morbidly pessimistic.
D) He views his fate as being caused by the error of people, not abstract powers like "fate."

Mercutio's speech in Act 3, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet reveals several aspects of his character. A) He cracks jokes even as he is dying, which shows that his character is indeed that of a comic, someone who retains his wit and humor even in the face of death. D) He views his fate as being caused by the error of people, not abstract powers like 'fate'. He blames the feud between the two houses for his untimely end, emphasizing human error over destiny.

From “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered— Till I scarcely more than muttered, “Other friends have flown before— On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.” Then the bird said, “Nevermore.” In this excerpt, what is the speaker saying the raven will do? It will befriend the speaker. It will certainly die. It will leave immediately. It will leave the next day.
Answer: It will leave the next day.
Explanation:
In this poem by Edgar Allan Poe, the speaker deals with a loss of his lover, when he is visited by a strange guest - a raven that repeats the same word - "nevermore."
The raven lands on a bust of Pallas, and, when the narrator asks him about his name, the raven only utters: "nevermore." The narrator then assumes that the raven will leave him just like his friends did:
"On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”
On the morrow is an Old English expression that has a meaning "the next day." The correct answer is, thus, that the speaker says that the raven will leave the next day.

Explanation:
In the context of writing a professional email to reject a customer's refund claim, the best buffer is a sentence that acknowledges the customer without suggesting a negative outcome immediately. Among the options provided, option B, 'We are glad to hear from a loyal customer.', serves as an effective buffer. This statement is neutral, acknowledges the customer positively, and does not lead immediately to the denial that will follow in the message. It helps set a courteous tone before delivering the bad news of the refund rejection.

What type of positive business message does this paragraph convey
Answer:
What paragraph?
Explanation:
Please send so that I can answer
1. 'Teen girls are often told, "If you just say 'no' you'll never have to worry
about an unwanted pregnancy." But if you're in love-or at least think you
are-you don't want to say "no" to your boyfriend, about sex or anything
else. "You want to please him, make him happy, and above all, not lose him.
"Furthermore, you may be as interested in sex as he is. 'Even if you don't
have a steady boyfriend, it's not always easy to say "no" to sex. "You hear
rumors about other girls who are popular because they are sexually available.
You reason that boys might like you better, too, if you would sleep with
them. If you make out with a boy, he may make you feel guilty about not
going further. "He may blame you for "leading him on" and making him feel
frustrated, or even grow angry with you. What do you do?
A. Teen girls who are in love with their boyfriends often run the risk of
unwanted pregnancy.
B. Those who encourage teen girls to just say 'no' to sex usually have
the best interests of the girls in mind.
c. Teenage girls who refuse to have sex with their boyfriends may lose
them to girls who are sexually available.
D. While "just saying no" sounds like the perfect solution, sometimes it
may not be as simple as it seems.
Answer: A. Teen girls who are in love with their boyfriends often run the risk of unwanted pregnancy.
Explanation: A teen who is in love with their boyfriend and feel that they will be together forever will make them want to give sex a try and once you enter that stage, you won't want to stop because it is pleasure you are giving him and him giving you. This will most definitely cause a risk of an unwanted pregnancy because many may feel that that boy is their forever and won't want to use any kind of protection. Even if your boyfriend does wear protection (condom), it is not 100% that it will be effective, same thing with birth control for women. Sex is not wrong but should be waited on because there is no rush.
Hi !!
I would answer D
While "just saying no" sounds the perfect solution, sometimes it may not be as simple as it seems.
The pressure of people around you may be so important that it's hard to deal with. The teens are so young for that, they aren't prepared to it. They think they won't get pregnant the very first time. They don't even think they could get AIDs.... They just think they're in love and that everyone act this way. They are not mature enough...
For sure "Teens girls who are in love with their boyfriend often run the risk of unwanted pregnancy."
If I didn't choose this one, it's because the word "often" bothers me. It's like, you could sometimes not get pregnant. I would have chosen it, if it was written "teens girls who are in love ...always run the risk of unwanted pregnancy".

Explain who the old man calls mother and what he calls “my mother’s gate”
The old man refers to his mother as his teacher and comforter, while 'my mother's gate' is likely a metaphor for a transition or passage in his life guided by his mother.
Explanation:In the texts, the old man refers to his mother as the person who reveals all things to him and loves him above all else. It's not explicitly stated what the 'mother's gate' symbolizes, but within many literary works, gates often represent a passage or transition. Therefore, 'my mother's gate' could be seen as a metaphor for the transition from ignorance to knowledge, or from childhood to adulthood, guided and supported by his mother's teachings. The mentioned text sections evoke strong feelings and experiences of learning, growth, remorse, longing, and deep familial love, hinting at the powerful influence the mother figure has on the old man's life.

Explanation:The old man in the text refers to his wife as 'mother,' a term of endearment that suggests she is the mother of his children. When he mentions 'my mother's gate,' he could be speaking metaphorically about his own home or the domestic sphere that his wife presides over, which has traditionally been associated with motherhood. This use of 'mother' as a title by older husbands towards their wives was common in past eras and may signify respect and affection.
