Read Spenser’s "Sonnet 75.”

In my opinion, the correct answer is C) Writing about people serves to immortalize them. It is the central idea of both sonnets. Spencer is aware of the "vanity" of his attempt to immortalize a mortal thing, that is, his beloved. But he nevertheless wants to do it, knowing that a poem about their love will make this love immortal and alive, many ages after they are both gone. Shakespeare also seeks to tear his beloved off from mortal fate by writing about her. All beautiful things eventually fade out and die, he says; but poetry transcends this life and its limitations, so it's the only way for the two of them and their love to live eternally.

Both Spencer and Shakespeare think highly of their loves. But there is one thing that outshines even love, and that is poetry. It is like a window from which we can at least peek into eternity, if we are not able to live in it.

Answer:

The correct answer is "is unwilling to admit his mistakes. "

Explanation:

Danforth is presiding over the Salem trials.

Although he knows that it has been a great mistake to hang 12 wrongfully accused people, he is not willing to admit his mistakes, for which he declares that he cannot forgive others.

Instead of admitting that it was a terrible mistake what happened, he keeps making it just because it would be "unfair" that twelve people have already been hanged for the same thing.

Answer:

"At one place an important railway servant swore at a protestant, threatened to strike him and locked the door over the passengers whom he had with difficulty squeezed in."

Explanation:

This seems to be the clearest description of appalling service: a railroad employee swearing at a customer and squeezing in too many passengers.

The other statements express inconvenient or deficient service, all describe problems with overcrowding.
