In "A Defence of Poetry,” Shelley suggests that thoughts and feelings in life are "always arising unforeseen and departing unbid

den.” Which lines from "Mutability” also reflect the idea that life is fleeting? We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon; How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings Give various response to each varying blast We rest.—A dream has power to poison sleep; We rise.—One wandering thought pollutes the day We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep; Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away

Answer:

-We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;

How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quive

Explanation:

In these lines, Shelley compares people to clouds that appear at night and veil the midnight moon. He states that these clouds "speed, gleam and quiver" restlessly. The metaphor is intended to reference human life. Just like the clouds, human life is brief. Therefore, these are the lines that best support the idea that life is fleeting.

Which sentence might be used to depict the voice of a young character?
Alik [6]

Young people usually express themselves in a vague and short way. Morever, young people make use of informal vocabulary when they speak; words like "eager", and expressions like "bursting with excitement" or "a long day of testing" are ways of speaking in a formal way that are not common among young people. Therefore, option C: <em>We ran ro the cars and jumped in because we hated school</em> might be used to depict the voice of a young character because it is shorter and informal.

A colon here is right to set up the quote from the introduction in the sentence. The lead in shows that the writer is about to provide a specific example, not a quote that continues the flow of the sentence. A colon allows the quote to stand alone from the rest of the sentence as an example.</span>
