Answer:
D. None of Above
Explanation:
The answer to the question is D because:
The wouldn't make sense in this sentence. The would make a grammatical error. The answer can not be option A.
An would not make sense in the sentence. An would be used when you are talking about a singular item. Independence is plural. It can not be option B.
Those would not make sense in the sentence. Those is referring to many people, not something that is an idea. The answer is not option C.
That means the answer must be option D.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. "Fadeth" and "ruin'd."
Fadeth is just the old English way to write fade, and the verb to fade has a slightly negative connotation. If something fades, it disappears and you no longer have it. Similarly, ruin'd (which obviously stands for ruined), has a clearly negative connotation - meaning that something is destroyed.
So these two words give off the impression of a tone which is bad, sad, or gloomy, and therefore is the correct answer here.
Explanation:
Sad and gloomy. Words such as "expire," "death," and "ashes" give Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" which kind of tone? Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
The answer is C
When sounding a word out, you can hear the prefixes and suffixes of the word, as well as the general tone the word gives.
