analyze word choice
select the words that edwards uses in his sermon to make hell seem like a living thing.
☐ swallow
☐ wicked
☐ lay hold
☐ gaping
☑ loathsome
done

Explanation:

To determine which words make hell seem like a living thing, we analyze personification (giving non - living things human/living - like actions). "Swallow" implies hell can consume (a living - like action), "gaping" suggests hell has a mouth that opens (like a living creature). "Wicked" describes people, "lay hold" is more about a force than hell as a living thing, "loathsome" describes a quality, not a living - like action. So the correct words are "swallow" and "gaping".

Answer:

The words are "swallow" and "gaping". The correct checkboxes should be for "swallow" and "gaping".
