it would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath of almighty god one moment; but you must suffer it to all eternity.
in this excerpt, what is the denotation of the word \fierceness\?
emotion
aggression
energy

Explanation:

Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word. "Fierceness" literally means being aggressive or having a violent and intense nature. "Emotion" is too broad; "energy" doesn't match the violent connotation; "pity" is the opposite in meaning.

aggression
