2 answers:

8 0

The correct answer is "I have one problem with the ski trip this weekend: I can’t ski!". A colon means "that is to say" or "here's what I mean." Colons and semicolons should never be used interchangeably. There are three main uses of the colon:

to introduce a list
before a quotation, and sometimes before direct speech
between two main clauses in cases where the second clause explains or follows from the first

This question is missing the stanza. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the final stanza. What does the sound of this

rhyme scheme create?

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands:

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.

- "The Song of Wandering Aengus,"

William Butler Yeats

A. a feeling of surprise and unexpected rhymes

B. a feeling of chaos and messiness

C. a feeling that everything is repeating

D. a feeling of calm and an expected ending

Answer:

The rhyme scheme creates:

D. a feeling of calm and an expected ending

Explanation:

When we pay attention to the last word of each line, we see that there is a broken pattern to the way they rhyme. The rhymes are interspersed, but even that logic is often unobserved. "Moon", for instance, does not rhyme with any other word. This creates an interesting effect on readers. We learn to expect something, but are surprised to read something else.

Now, when we pay attention to the mood conveyed by the speaker, we can sense calmness. What is described, and the way the speaker describes it, is filled with a sense of certainty. He knows he will meet his loved one, even if he is old. He knows there will be peace and happiness once he finds her.

andrey2020 [161]

The excerpt that you have written is titled "The Lake of the Dismal Swamp." The poem was written by Thomas Moore. I do believe the question you need answered is "Which poetic device is illustrated by the line, ". . . all night long, by a fire-fly lamp"? The poetic device is called an alliteration. This poem is known as a ballad. It was written in the 1800's. It was written in Norfolk, Virgina.
