Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” — Unit test

Question 12 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

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?

Answer
A
drop casually
B
throw with force
C
toss lightly
D
release into the air

Explanation

Here, “cast” means to throw or send someone forcefully downward. The phrase “cast his enemies down to hell” emphasizes a forceful fall, so “throw with force” is the best choice; it does not suggest a casual or light toss.
