Highlight imagery that portrays gods wrath.
Harrizon [31]
You would highlight burns against them and the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the flames do now rage and glow.

You would highlight those things because God's wrath is being personified as, or compared to, a fire, as revealed in the line the wrath of God burns against them. The fire is made ready... seems like an extended metaphor.

Which reasons support the claim? Check all that apply. Claim: Our school should hold a recycling drive to help curb the electron
Zepler [3.9K]
<span>"Broken electronics...globe."
</span><span>"Many electronics....harmful chemicals."
These support the claim because they both address why E-waste is harmful. The cell phone reason is more about people not having them rather than their harm to the ecosystems. Cans, plastic, and paper are not considered E-waste so it doesn't support the claim.</span>

Read the following reason that has been given to justify slavery and answer the question.
professor190 [17]

Answer: We are not initially responsible for the capture of slaves taken as a result of war.

The first statement disputes the claim because it argues that captives from wars might still be taken in an unjust way. The third statement similarly disputes the claim by arguing that not all captives are victims of combat, but some were kidnapped despite their peaceful existence. Finally, the last statement argues that even if captives were taken lawfully in those wars, it would still be a great kindness to help them.

The second statement, on the other hand, supports the claim. It argues that the capture of slaves is not our responsibility, as they have been lawfully taken during war.
