Question

In this excerpt from Michael Wigglesworth's Day of Doom, choose the correct meaning for each underlined word. They rush from beds with giddy ( ) heads, and to their windows run, Viewing this light, which shines more bright than doth ( ) the noon-day sun Straightway appears (they see’t with tears) the Son of God most dread; Who with His train comes on amain ( ) to judge both quick and dead. giddy:(dizzy,swollen,aching) doth:(has,does,goes) amain:(late,carefully,quickly)

Answer 1

The correct answer to the question is:

• Diggy means dizzy as the characters just woke up and stood up quickly to look out of the window.
• Doth means does, because in archaic English, the third person singular of the present tense of "do".
• Amain means quickly as His train comes so it should be quick. also, "amain" from archaic means "forcefully; vigorously ; at or with great speed"

Answer 2

Giddy- dizzy
Doth- does
Amain-Quickly
