Read the excerpt from Amy Lowell’s "Lilacs." What is the form of the poem?

Lilacs,
False blue,
White,
Purple,
Color of lilac,
You have forgotten your Eastern origin,
The veiled women with eyes like panthers,
The swollen, aggressive turbans of jeweled Pashas.
Now you are a very decent flower,
A reticent flower,
A curiously clear-cut, candid flower,
Standing beside clean doorways,
Friendly to a house-cat and a pair of spectacles,
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms.
Maine knows you,
Has for years and years;
New Hampshire knows you,
And Massachusetts
And Vermont.

A.
blank verse
B.
free verse
C.
lyric
D.
narrative
E.
descriptive

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: b

Explanation: I did the test

Answer 2

Answer:

B. free verse

Explanation:

Open form, also referred to as free verse, does not follow a fixed pattern of rhyme, rhythm, or line length. It allows the poet flexibility in how the poem is composed.

Other Answers:

Lyric, narrative, and descriptive are all poetic styles, so when it comes to this question, options C, D, and E can be eliminated because it is asking for the form.

The lyric style expresses the speaker's feelings (ex: odes, elegies, sonnets).The narrative style tells a story and includes elements of plot, such as exposition, climax, and resolution (ex: epics, ballads).The descriptive style describes the subject of the poem in detail and follows a narrative.

Blank verse is another poetic form and is written in non-rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. This answer does not apply to the poem.

I hope this helps!

And the Rat of the Moon stopped biting the line; and the Fisherman let his line down till it touched the Sea, and he pulled the whole deep Sea along, past the Island of Bintang, past Singapore, past Malacca, past Selangor, till the canoe whirled into the mouth of the Perak River again. ‘Kun?' said the Fisherman of the Moon. ‘Payah kun,' said the Eldest Magician. ‘See now that you pull the Sea twice a day and twice a night for ever, so that the Malazy fishermen may be saved paddling. But be careful not to do it too hard, or I shall make a magic on you as I did to Pau Amma.' Then they all went up the Perak River and went to bed, Best Beloved.

D. to inform fishers about when it is easiest to sail on the Perak River

Answer:

The primary purpose of the excerpt is:

A. to explain to children that the moon causes the tides

Explanation:

In this excerpt of  "The Crab That Played with the Sea," we have a type of allegory. Characters and events are used to describe something that exists or happens in the real world. In this case, what is being explained is how the moon influences the tides. In the story, there is a Fisherman of the Moon who throws his line into the ocean. Then, he gets to pull the Sea, which causes the tides. It is an adorable way to explain to children the connection between the moon and the ocean.

how would I separate the subject from the predicate from each other in this sentence
Canning or freezing keeps food from spoiling

Answers

Answer:

Canning or freezing keeps food from spoiling.

Explanation:

I've underlined the subject and written the predicate in bold letters.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what is performing an action expressed by the verb. It can also tell us who or what is being described by the predicate.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

Here, the subject are the words canning and freezing. This is a compound subject - a subject that consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. The verb these words share is keeps. This verb is a part of the complete predicate: keeps food from spoiling.

To confirm this, we can ask:

for the subject - What keeps food from spoiling? Canning or freezing.for the predicate - What does canning or freezing do? It keeps food from spoiling.

Arnold asks his parents, "Who has the most hope?" What group of people do you believe have the most hope? Why is it so important to have hope?

Answers

Hoping is for everyone.

Those homeless kids? They might be hoping for a meal tonight. That kid who keeps getting picked on? He's probably hoping to be left alone. That little girl who hears her parents arguing? She might be hoping that they'd just make up.

Hoping keeps people alive, in a way.

For example, when the Americans during the 1700's wanted their freedom from Britain, they started a war. They lost so many battles. If they had given up hope, then America would've still been under British rule.

If the world gave up hope when Hitler was massacring those Jews, there would be no more Jews left in the world, probably. Germany might have still been a dictatorship.

Hoping and wishing are almost the same. ALMOST. Wishing is almost always useless, face it. Who would hear and care about your wishes anyways? Wishes are for all sorts of things that we know we can't have, and that are almost always unrealistic. 'I wish I could be a millionaire.' 'I wish I could fly.' 'I wish I could eat as many pizzas as I'd like without getting full.'

Hopes are more realistic, more thoughtful, and much easier to achieve. 'I hope my mom stays alive.' 'I hope I can get this job interview.' 'I hope I can go to the park today.'

I hope this helps your answer! Good luck!

The author titled this section "Everything Tends to Ruin." What does the word tend mean in this context? Why did the author of this article choose this subtitle for this section? What is "ruined"? Who is doing the "ruining"?

Answers

Answer:

1. The word 'tend' means 'disposed to', or 'frequently leads to' destruction.

2. He chose this subtitle for this section to explain how difficult it was for the French people to control the Vietnamese people.

3. Ruined means destruction.

4. The Vietnamese people were doing the ruining.

Explanation:

The article, "The Vietnam Wars," highlights the resistance put up by the Vietnamese people when other nations like the Chinese and French tried to subjugate them. In that section, the phrase, "Everything Tends to Ruin", was used by a French Military commander to summarize the frustration of the French people who tried to colonize the Vietnamese people.

The locals used their knowledge of the terrains to cause mayhem to their colonists. They resisted the schooling offered by the French people and rather embraced their culture. All ploys by the French colonists to subjugate them were met with resistance.

Most people remember Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as reformers who practiced non-violent forms of protest and advocacy. Both effectively changed the popular opinion about emotional issues for their countries and brought in a wave of change that was long overdue. But the practice of non-violent protest, or civil disobedience, started long before either Gandhi or King. It began with a quiet, shy poet who is best known for writing a lot about a pond.

Henry David Thoreau lived from 1817 until 1862, mainly in the area of Concord, Massachusetts. The issue that would tear the country apart in the 1860s had already begun dividing the nation. Thoreau was only 14 when Nat Turner led the slave rebellion in Virginia and was later hanged. In his late 20s, Thoreau began speaking against slavery in public, echoing the voices of freedmen like Frederick Douglass and Lewis Hayden.

Thoreau believed that a government that supported slavery was corrupt and immoral. He was also deeply suspicious of government. For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years. The poll tax was a legal tax owed by every person. It was basically a tax on one's body. After not paying for years, he was at last arrested. He spent only one night in jail, however, as a relative paid the tax for him. He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf.

It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." In this essay, he argued that being moral and just came before allegiance to government. He wrote “If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." He also felt that voting was not enough to ensure that the right thing be done. He wrote that "even voting for the right is doing nothing for it… A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance…" He felt that one had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws.

Read the sentence below:

"If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law."

In this context, what does the word agent mean?

A dainty eater, he found that his mates, finishing first, robbed him of his unfinished ration. There was no defending it. While he was fighting off two or three, it was disappearing down the throats of the others. To remedy this, he ate as fast as they; and, so greatly did hunger compel him, he was not above taking what did not belong to him. He watched and learned. When he saw Pike, one of the new dogs, a clever malingerer and thief, slyly steal a slice of bacon when Perrault's back was turned, he duplicated the performance the following day, getting away with the whole chunk.
