Question

however you may have reformed your life in many things, and may have had religious affections, and may keep up a form of religion in your families and closets, and in the house of god, it is nothing but his mere pleasure that keeps you from being this moment swallowed up in everlasting destruction. —jonathan edwards what is the denotation of everlasting in this passage? brief eternal horrific tremendous

Explanation:

To determine the denotation of "everlasting" in the passage, we analyze the context. "Everlasting destruction" refers to destruction that lasts indefinitely. "Brief" means short - lived, which is the opposite. "Horrific" and "tremendous" describe the nature of destruction (scary or great in extent) rather than its duration. "Eternal" means lasting forever, which matches the idea of a destruction that has no end, so it is the correct denotation of "everlasting" here.

Answer:

B. eternal
