Question

read the excerpt from \sinners in the hands of an angry god.\ we find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that anything hangs by; thus easy is it for god when he pleases to cast his enemies down to hell. what is the denotation of the word \cast\ in this excerpt? drop casually throw with force toss lightly release into the air

Explanation:

Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word. In the excerpt, "cast" describes God's action of sending enemies down to hell. The context implies a forceful action, as crushing a worm or cutting a thread are deliberate, impactful acts, aligning with "throw with force" as the literal meaning here.

Answer:

throw with force
