Answer: A. The poem "The Second Coming" is in many ways connected to the theme of tradition vs. change.

Explanation:

"The Second Coming" is a poem written by William Butler Yeats, in 1919. Its theme revolves around how changes occur not only in mundane affairs, but also in spirituality. It's a cyclical path, leading humankind to darkness before enlightenment. Yeats, many years after writing the poem, wrote in a letter to a friend that the poem had predicted the rise of Nazism and the horrors of the Second World War. The poem's name is a Christian reference to the return of Jesus Christ to this world, when sins will be judged, and the Earth will be purified.

As for Chinua Achebe, he uses the sentence "things fall apart" as the title of a novel, which also has change as an important aspect. The sentence "things fall apart" is in the third line of "The Second Coming". Achebe most likely used it on purpose, as a reference to the poem, but that is not enough to make options b, c, or d of this question correct.

As if merely ___________ according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…
agasfer [191]

Answer:

As if merely <em><u>subsisting</u></em> according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…

Explanation:

The word "subsist" is a gerund that means sustenance, dependent, survival on one's own. In other words, it means the ability or capacity to support and survive by oneself on a minimal level.

The given line<em> "as if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough..."</em> is from Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." The lines go like this-

<em>As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough, Rosellini also exercised compulsively whenever he wasn't occupied with foraging. He filled his days with calisthenics, weight lifting, and running, often with a load of rocks on his back. During one apparently typical summer, he reported covering an average of eighteen miles daily.</em>

Thus, the correct word for the blank in the line is "subsisting".
