Answer:

graft - to combine or integrate

transpire - to be revealed

to mottle- to mark with spots

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.

In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.

The theological name for the rescue of figures like Noah, Abraham and David by “a mighty One / Crowned with the symbol of his vi
andrey2020 [161]

The correct answer is: The harrowing of hell.

Indeed, the main principle of Christianity is that the only way to be saved is by accepting Jesus Christ as one’s Savior. However, the problem of good people both Jewish and Gentile, who had lived and died long before Jesus came to earth remained. If they were good people, and especially if they were monotheistic believers in God, like Adam, Moses and Abraham how would it be fair for God to let them in hell for eternity? According to several verses in the New Testament, when Jesus was crucified and died, he went down to hell and rescued all these people.

A notable one is Peter 3:19-20: “19 in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, 20 who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.”

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"

D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

Explanation:

This best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar. If dark/brown sugar was easier to produce, then it would obviously not be as worth as much. How white was called pure and sweet put it at a higher value than brown sugar.
