Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" — Quiz

Question 7 • English III

Read the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." 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”?

Answer
A
pity
B
emotion
C
energy
D
aggression

Explanation

“Fierceness” means violent intensity or aggression. In the excerpt, it describes the wrath of God as harsh and forceful, so “aggression” is the closest choice; pity, emotion, and energy do not capture that meaning.
