Answer:

Grief and Enmity.

Explanation:

"The Raven" is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1845. The poem is known for its use of elements of musicality, supernatural environment and the language.

The speaker of the poem is lamenting over the lost o his lover, whose name is 'Lenore'. The theme of grief, and loss can be found in the poem. The raven who was sitting 'on the bust of Pallas' signifies this theme. He creates more tension to the on-going suffering of the speaker by repeating words "Nevermore."

This given excerpt is taken from stanza 14 of the poem, in this stanza, the speaker is hallucinating. In his hallucination, he imagines, that the air is becoming darker and denser with the 'perfume from an unseen censer'. And that the censer was held by an angel sent from God. He thinks that it is well for him to drink this potion, so overcome the grief of loss of his love. And this might help him to forget Lenore.

So, the theme that's been displayed in this stanza is "Grief and enmity".

Which excerpt from the essay most clearly portrays imperialism with negative connotations?
just olya [345]

Although all four excerpts are disgusting, we should single out one of them.



"Shooting an Elephant" George Orwell is a story of imperialism  and the ratio of the local population inhabited by Imperial Britain. Imperialism is the most powerful force in world history. It exists today, moved from the colonial era to neo-colonial or neo-imperialism. During this transition, modes and strategies were changed, but the goal remained the same - to rule and exploit the natives, using their strength, military, economic and technological.


Killing an elephant shows various aspects of imperialism, imperialism is a double sword that inflicts damage on both sides, the local population and the British officer representing the imperial empire. When he killed the animal, he had to calm the Burmese. The fact that the Burmese decides what the imperial officer must do about it, provides an ironic image of a master who becomes a slave to fulfill his racial and imperial duties. Here, Orwell asks an important question: if an officer, a good man, can be corrupted and destroyed by imperialism, what happens to those who are not so honest?


The officer is aware of the malevolence of imperialism, but he is also aware of the ways in which beasts turn locals under the influence of imperialism. Local Buddhist priests laugh at him because in essence it was not necessary to kill an elephant, which was the consequence of his clumsy decision. However, there is no greater embarrassment than laughter in the face, sent to the white officer of the British Empire.



An excerpt from "Shooting an Elephant" that best demonstrates the dual destructive influence of imperialism, both on the local and the imperialist ones, is C).
