Answer:

d. to serve as a pivot point for the poem.

Explanation:

In "The Philosophy of Composition," Poe describes how he was able to produce his poem "The Raven," one of his most famous and popular works. One of the things that he details is the fact that the refrain of the poem is meant to serve as a pivot point for the poem. This means that the refrain is held as a constant throughout the poem, and the other elements are built around it, providing a sense of regularity.

In what Fear can teach us by Karen Walker Which quote from the text best supports this answer: The sailors’ fear of cannibalism
uysha [10]

The  quote from the text that  best supports the answer is -To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land. These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men,

Explanation:

To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land. These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men.

By reading the above statement it is clear that the sailors fear that what  they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.

In the year  1819  the crew of the whaleship Essex drifted in the middle of the Pacific. The ship was capsized for 24 hours and now it was the time to take a decision ,to make a plan but they had very few options. The narrator  Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.

The nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands which was about  1,200 miles away from the ships position but then they have heard some frightening rumors about the island  populated by cannibals. Another option was  Hawaii, but  the captain was afraid they’d be struck by severe storms. Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.

Which sentence ending corrects the sentence frangement below after I play soccer
IgorLugansk [536]

I'm assuming the sentence fragment is "After I play soccer". You would follow that with a comma, then "I", then a description of what you did after you played soccer.
