Answer:

The poem "Harlem" uses A. free verse

Explanation:

First, let's take a look at the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes:

What happens to a dream deferred?

     Does it dry up

     like a raisin in the sun?

     Or fester like a sore—

     And then run?

     Does it stink like rotten meat?

     Or crust and sugar over—

     like a syrupy sweet?

     Maybe it just sags

     like a heavy load.

     <em>Or does it explode?</em>

<em />

We can clearly see there isn't much of a pattern being applied. The very fist line of the poem is much longer than the rest of it. None of the lines constitute a iambic pentameter - a five-time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, we can eliminate options B and C, according to the descriptions provided in the question.

We can safely eliminate letter D as well, since we do not have a pattern of two consecutive lines that rhyme in this poem -- note that the two last lines do rhyme and are consecutive in the sense that there isn't another line between them; still, they do not belong to the same stanza and are not related enough to be considered a couplet.

<u>The only option left, and the correct one is A. free verse. Even though there are a few rhymes taking place in "Harlem" (sun/run, meat/sweet, load/explode), they do not follow a consistent pattern. Mostly, they are intercalated with lines that do not rhyme at all (up, sore, over, and sags). There is no concern for metrics either, each line having a different number of syllables.</u>

How does the information in the NASA article best add to a reader’s understanding of Team Moon?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is number 2. Team Moon, written by Catherine Thimmesh (2006), is a book that portrays the enormous effort of the 400.000 people who made Apollo 11 land on the moon. But not only that, it concretely reflects the emotions felt by those people whose dedication, suffering, and strength gave place to such historical event.

What does this verse teach about our speech? "The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow
Harrizon [31]

Answer: The words of a wise man brings him honor, but a fool is destroyed by his own words.

Explanation:

The thing that the verse teaches us about our speech is that "the words of a wise man brings him honor, but a fool is destroyed by his own words".

When we listen to the words that comes from the mouth of a wise person, we derive benefit from listening because the person is wise unlike that of the fools and his words being about his destruction.
